Question

A line is drawn so that it passes through the points (15,-3) and (17,5). What is the
slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

( 15 , -3 ) ⇒ ( x₁ , y₁ )

( 17 , 5 ) ⇒  ( x₂ , y₂ )

You have to use y = m x + c to find the equation of the line.

Here,

m = slope

c = y - intercept

Let find the slope now.

$m = \frac{y_{1}-y_{2} }{x_{1}-x_{2} }$

$m=\frac{-3-5}{15-17}$

$m=\frac{-8}{-2}$

$m=4$

Slope = 4

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

Answer 2

The answer to your equation is m = 4.
Slope = 4.
