Question

The slope of the line joining the points (3,5) and (4,8) is

• A. $\frac{13}{7}$
• B. $\frac{3}{4}$
• C. $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$

The slope of the line joining the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by:
$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of the line joining the points (3,5) and (4,8) is $\frac{8-5}{4-3}$, which is equal to $\frac{3}{1}$, or 3.
