Question

points J and K lie on the same line, as shown on the coordinate plane below. What is the slope of the line passing through points J and K?

Answer 1

The slope is 1/2.

The slope is given by the formula
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using our two points, we have
m = (5-3.5)/(6-3) = 1.5/3 = 0.5 = 1/2
