Question

Find the slope between the points (3, 0) and (5, 4).A. 2B. 12C. 4

Answer 1

ANSWER

2

EXPLANATION

We want to find the slope between the points (3, 0) and (5, 4).

To do that, we will use the formula for slope:

$m\text{ = }\frac{y2\text{ - y1}}{x2\text{ - x1}}$

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points that lie on the line.

From the question:

(x1, y1) = (3,0)

(x2, y2) = (5, 4)

Therefore, the slope is:

$\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{4\text{ - 0}}{5\text{ - }3}\text{ = }\frac{4}{2} \\ m\text{ = 2} \end{gathered}$

That is the slope
