Question

Find the slope (m) of the line containing the points (1, 2) and (2, 5).

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify two points on the line

1,2 & 2,5

Step 2: Select x1, y1 & x2, y2

x1 = 2, y1 = 5     x2 = 1, y2 = 2

Step 3: Use the Slope Formula

change y/ change x

IMPORTANT: it is change in y over change in x, not the other way around. It will be wrong if done the other way, though that would seem to be more logical, since x is the first variable in the pair.

Y   5 -2 = 3        

X   2 - 1 = 1

3/1 = 3
