Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (3, 3)?

A -4
B 4
C 1/4
D -1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

$\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\displaystyle \frac{3-2}{3-(-1)}=\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, the slope is 1/4, and the correct answer is 1/4.

Answer 2

Answer:

C 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line given two points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3-2)/(3--1)

   = (3-2)/(3+1)

   = 1/4
