Chapter 8.4, Problem 4MRE

To determine

To Find: the line slope of line passing through given points.

Answer to Problem 4MRE

Slope of line passing through given points is $4$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The points $\left(1,5\right),\left(3,13\right)$ .

Formula used: -

Slope of line passing through two points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

  $\left(1,5\right),\left(3,13\right)$

Recall Slope of line passing through two points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$

  $\begin{array}{l}m=\frac{13-5}{3-1}\\ m=\frac{8}{2}\\ m=4\end{array}$

  $m=-3$

Slope of line passing through given points is $4$ .
