Given:
(8, 1)
(24, 9)
x1 = 8
x2 = 24
y1= 1
y2 = 9
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 = (9 - 1)/(24 - 8)
m = 8/16
m = ½
Final answer:
The slope of the line = ½
