The slope of the line through the points (3,7) and (5,15) is 4 .
What is slope of line passing through two points ?
The slope of a line is defined as the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate of that line.
Δy = change in y coordinate = y2 - y1
Δx = change in x coordinate = x2 - x1
m = Δy/Δx
where,
m is the slope
According to the question
Points (3,7) and (5,15)
therefore,
(x1,y1) = (3,7)
(x2,y2) = (5,15)
Now ,
The slope of the line
Using slope formula
m = Δy/Δx
Δy = y2 - y1
Δy = 15 - 7
Δy = 8
Δx = = x2 - x1
Δx = 5 - 3
Δx = 2
Therefore,
m = [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
m = 4
Hence, the slope of the line through the points (3,7) and (5,15) is 4 .
