Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named.

E(0, 0), F(a, b) m =

Answer 1

m=b/a

Answer 2

slope of a line which contains the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
\[m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]

here (x1,y1)= (0, 0)
(x2, y2)=(a, b)
\[m=\frac{b-0}{a-0}\]
the slope is
\[m=\frac{b}{a}\]
