Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 1) and (8, 3)?

Answer 1

To find the answer to questions like this, it is best to graph the two points.

First, we need to find the slope.
\[\frac{ Y2 - Y1 }{ X2 - X1 }\].

Could you solve that with the points above and I will continue helping?

Answer 2

there is answer choices....i forgot to put them.....

Answer 3

That's fine. I'm just helping you learn how to solve these kind of problems for the future.

Answer 4

I already have the answer written down btw.

Answer 5

A. 2/5 B. 5/2 C. -2/5 D. -5/2

Answer 6

Okay so using the equation above:

\[\frac{ 3-1 }{ 8-3 }\]

What does that simplify to?

Answer 7

2/5

Answer 8

Correct! There's your answer :)
