Given:
(1, 5)
(4, 10)
x1 = 1
x2 = 4
y1= 5
y2 = 10
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (10 - 5)/(4 - 1)
m = 5/3
m = 5/3
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 5/3
