Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 2) and (7,5)
Simplify your answer and write it as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x.

$m = \frac{change \: in \: y}{change \: in \: x}$

The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates, and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates .

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

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

$m = \frac{5 - (2)}{7 - (3)}$

Simplify.

$m = \frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the slope is 3/4.
