Given:
(61, -17)
(62, 64)
x1 = 61
x2 = 62
y1= -17
y2 = 64
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 = (64 - (-17))/(62 - 61)
m = (64 + 17)/(1)
m = (81)/(1)
m = 81
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 81
