Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: #(1, 1.5) , (3, 3.4)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=0.95=19/20`

Explanation:

`"to calculate slope m us the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(1,1.5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(3,3.4)`

`rArrm=(3.4-1.5)/(3-1)=1.9/2=0.95=95/100=19/20`
