Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (0, 2).
(slope, 50 points.)

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we can use the slope formula

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

   = ( 2-3)/(0-2)

   = -1/-2

  = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Line passes through (2, 3) and (0, 2)

$\text{Slope formula} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Substitute the coordinates in the formula and solve for the slope;

    $\implies \text{Slope formula} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

    $\implies\text{Slope formula} = \dfrac{2 - 3}{0 - 2}$

    $\implies\text{Slope formula} = \dfrac{-1}{-2}$

    $\implies\text{Slope formula} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.5.
