Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(3,5) (8,12)`?

Answer 1

`7/5`

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing passing through two points `A(x_1,y_1)` and `B(x_2,y_2)` is given by

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

Here Let `A(x_1,y_1)` represent `(3,5)` and `B(x_2,y_2)` represent `(8,12)`.

Slope of given points`=(12-5)/(8-3)=7/5`

Hence the slope of line passing through the given points is `7/5`.
