Question

Compute the slope of the line intersecting the points (1, 2) and (3, 8). *

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 8)

m = $\frac{8-2}{3-1}$ = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3
