Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (10, 2) and (19, 14)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of this line is 4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1, y1) = (10, 2)

(x2, y2) = (19, 14)

First, find the slope using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

All this is doing is finding the distance between the y-coordinates and dividing it by the distance between the x-coordinates. I marked these two as points 1 and 2 above, so you can plug in all 4 values and solve:

$m=\frac{14-2}{19-10}\\\\m=\frac{12}{9}\\\\m=\frac{4}{3}$

The slope of this line is 4/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is calculated by  so now you pul the points (10,2) and (19,14) into that.

=

12/9 can be simplified to be 4/3
