The slope of the line that passes through the point (2,4) and (3,8) is​

Sagot :

Hi! Your answer is m = 4 or slope is 4.

Make sure to read an explanation for a better and clear understanding to your problem.

Any questions about my answer and explanation can be asked through comments! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a slope of a line with given two coordinate points, we can do by using rise over run or slope formula which is:

[tex]\large\boxed{m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}[/tex]

The boxed formula is the slope formula. The changes of y over the changes of x. This can be called "rate of change".

From (2,4) and (3,8). We substitute the given coordinate points in the formula.

[tex]\huge{m=\frac{8-4}{3-2}}\\\huge{m=\frac{4}{1}}\\\huge{m=4}[/tex]

Hence, the slope is 4.

Additional Note

  • m-term comes from y = mx+b where m is defined as slope in slope-intercept form. Therefore, m = slope.

Hope this helps!
