Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (5, 11)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points. The first point is (2, 3) and the second point is (5, 11).
  • Step 2: Label the coordinates. Let (x1, y1) = (2, 3) and (x2, y2) = (5, 11).
  • Step 3: Use the slope formula, which is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. This means m = (11 - 3) / (5 - 2).
  • Step 5: Calculate the difference in the y-coordinates: 11 - 3 = 8.
  • Step 6: Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates: 5 - 2 = 3.
  • Step 7: Now, put these values into the formula: m = 8 / 3.
  • Step 8: The slope of the line is 8/3.
