what's the slope of the line (2,1);(5,3) ?
m(slope)=(y2-y1)/(X2-X1)
=(3-1)/(5-2)
=2/3
thanx so much "anonymous" person! you rock!
To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the slope formula, which is:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (2,1) and (5,3).
Let's assign the coordinates of the first point to (x1, y1) and the coordinates of the second point to (x2, y2).
x1 = 2, y1 = 1
x2 = 5, y2 = 3
Now let's substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (3 - 1) / (5 - 2)
simplify the numerator and denominator:
slope = 2 / 3
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,1) and (5,3) is 2/3.
Remember, the slope represents the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value between two points on a line.
