Question

How do you find the slope of (4,8) , (8,11)?

Answer 1

The slope `= (3 ) / (4)`

Explanation:

`(4,8) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1`

`(8 , 11) = color(blue)(x_2 , y _ 2`

The slope is calculated using formula:
Slope `= color(blue)((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x _1)`

`= (11 - 8 ) / (8 -4)`

`= (3 ) / (4)`
