Question

What is the slope of the line through (4, 7) and (5, 12)?

Answer 1

Answer: Slope=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line with 2 given points, you use the formula $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$.

We plug our points into the formula and get:

$\frac{12-7}{5-4} =\frac{5}{1} =5$.

Our slope is 5.
