Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points (-1,3) and (3,5)

Answer 1

The given points are ($-$1, 3) and (3, 5).

Here, x₁ = $-$1, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 3 and y₂ = 5
$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{5-3}{3-(-1)} \\ =\frac{2}{4} \\ =\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$
