Given:
(2, 6)
(3, 9)
x1 = 2
x2 = 3
y1= 6
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 - 6)/(3 -2)
m = (3)/(1)
m = 3
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 3
