Question

How do you find the slope of a line passing through the points (2,0) and (7, 25)?

Answer 1

Slope `=5`.

Explanation:

The slope/gradient is calculated by the formula

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So in your question, `y_1=0` and `y_2=25`, while `x_1=2` and `x_2=7`.

Apply the formula

`(25-0)/(7-2)=5`
