Question

If a line falls on the points (3, 1) and (9,5), what is its slope? Enter your
answer as a fraction in lowest terms. Use a slash mark (/) as the fraction
bar.

Answer 1

Answer:  2/3

============================================================

Use the slope formula to get that answer

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

m = (5-1)/(9-3)

m = 4/6

m = 2/3

We have a rise of 2 and a run of 3.

In other words, we move up 2 and over to the right 3.
