XGiven:
(-1, 2)
(3, 3)
x1 = -1
x2 = 3
y1= 2
y2 = 3
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 = (3 - 2)/(3 - (-1))
m = (1)/(3 + 1)
m = (1)/(4)
m = ¼
Final answer:
The slope of the line = ¼
