Find the slope of the line that goes through (2, 8) and (5, 13).

Sagot :

Answer:

1 (2/3) or 1.66666667

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is found by using the equation :

y2 - y 1 / x2 - x1

So all we have to do is plug in our values given.

To find which belongs with which variable (such as x2 or y1), we do the following:

We know that the coordinates of a point are represented by (x, y). So we must assign a number to each points number.

(2, 8) will be x1 and y1.

(5, 13) will be x2 and y2

Plug in the values :

13 - 8 = 5

5 - 2 = 3

5 / 3 = 1 (2/3)

So, the slope of the line is 1.66666667 or 1 and (2/3)s
