Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (8, 6)?

Answer 1

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{Formula:m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\bullet\textsf{ Whereas, }\mathsf{y_2}\textsf{ is equal to 6 \& }\mathsf{ y_1}\textsf{ is equal to 3. As well as, }\mathsf{x_2}\textsf{ is equal to 8 \& }\mathsf{x_1}\textsf{ is equal }\\\textsf{to 2}$

$\mathsf{Equation: \dfrac{6-3}{8-2}}\\\\\\\mathsf{6-3=\boxed{\large\textsf{\bf 3}}}\\\mathsf{8-2=\boxed{\large\textsf{\bf 6}}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{3}{6}}\\\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{3\div3}{6\div3}=\boxed{\mathsf{\bf \dfrac{1}{2}}}}\\\\\\\\\\\mathsf{m = \boxed{\mathsf{\bf \dfrac{1}{2}}}}\large\checkmark$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf \dfrac{1}{2}}}}\huge\checkmark$

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (6-3)/(8-2)

   = 3/6

   = 1/2
