Question

E. Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (9,7),

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Find the difference in y

7 - 3 = 4

→ Find the difference in x

9 - 1 = 8

→ Divide the results

4 ÷ 8 = 0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is 1/2 (m=1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula: $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ to solve for the slope. y2 is 7, y1 is 3, x2 is 1, x1 is 9. $\frac{7-3}{9-1}=\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$
