Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (25,50) and (80,110)

Answer 1

Answer:

12/11

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find the slope of a line is:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ are the points where the line passes.

in this case we have that the first point is: (25,50)  thus⇒ $x_{1}=25$ and $y_{1}=50$

and the second point: (80,110) thus ⇒ $x_{2}=80$ and $y_{2}=110$

substituting this values into the formula for the slope:

$m=\frac{110-50}{80-25} \\\\m=\frac{60}{55}\\ \\m=\frac{12}{11}$

the slope of the line is 12/11
