Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(17,11) , (21,19)`?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Slope is change in y over change in x. Change in y is 19-11, or 8, and change in x is 21-17, or 4. You would get `8/4`, or just simply 2.

Answer 2

`"slope "=2`

Explanation:

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

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

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(17,11)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(21,19)`

`rArrm=(19-11)/(21-17)=8/4=2`
