Question

What is the slope in the simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (11, 8)

m = $\frac{8-4}{11-7}$ = $\frac{4}{4}$ = 1

The slope is positive

Answer 2

Answer:

1 and positive

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Utilise gradient formula

( y₂ - y₁ ) ÷ ( x₂ - x₁ )

→ Substitute in the values

( 8 - 4 ) ÷ ( 11 - 7 )

→ Simplify
