Question

How do you find the slope of the line passing through the points (1,3) and (5,4)?

Answer 1

`1/4`

Explanation:

The formula for slope is as follows:

`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Using this formula, you get the following:

`(4 - 3)/(5 - 1) = 1/4`

I hope this has helped you better understand slope. I didn’t understand slope either until I practiced it more, so feel free to ask anytime.
