A line passes through points (2,5) and (5, 14). What is the slope of this line?
1 answer:
<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3

Let the number be n.
Then 3n+5 = n+40
Combining like terms, we get
2n = 35, and so n = 35/7, or 17 1/2.
103680÷24=4320
4320÷60=72

Answer:
Graph 1 because if you just do the Y coordinate its much easier.
8 divided by 4 = 2
So two is your answer
