Question

Given a line passing through points (1, 0) and (4,9), what is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope (m) is the ratio of the difference in y-values to the corresponding difference in x-values:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (9 -0)/(4 -1) = 9/3

  m = 3

The slope of the line is 3.
