What is the slope of a line that with the points (1,3) and (5,4)?

1 Answer

Jan 13, 2016

The slope
$m = \frac{1}{4}$ $m=(1) / (4)$

Explanation:

The points are
$(1, 3) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(1,3) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$

$(5, 4) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(5,4) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

The slope is found using formula

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1) / (x_2-x_1)$

$m = \frac{4 - 3}{5 - 1}$ $m=(4-3) / (5-1)$

$m = \frac{1}{4}$ $m=(1) / (4)$
