Chapter 13.2, Problem 1CE

To determine

To find the slope of the line with given two points on the line $\left(-2,1\right)$ and $\left(3,2\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 1CE

The slope of line is $0.2$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Two points are given

  

Calculation:

Slope of a line when two points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$ are given is

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Points given are $\left(-2,1\right)$ and $\left(3,2\right)$

  $m=\frac{2-1}{\left(3\right)-\left(-2\right)}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

Therefore the slope of line is $0.2$ .
