Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In coordinate geometry, what is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points. The first point is (2, 3) and the second point is (4, 7).
  • Step 2: Label the coordinates. For the first point (2, 3), let x1 = 2 and y1 = 3. For the second point (4, 7), let x2 = 4 and y2 = 7.
  • Step 3: Use the slope formula, which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: (7 - 3) / (4 - 2).
  • Step 5: Calculate the difference in the y-coordinates: 7 - 3 = 4.
  • Step 6: Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates: 4 - 2 = 2.
  • Step 7: Now, substitute these results back into the formula: 4 / 2.
  • Step 8: Simplify the fraction: 4 / 2 = 2.
  • Step 9: The slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7) is 2.
