Question

what is the slope of line that goes through the points (1, 5) and (4, 10)?
3
5/3
4/1
5/15

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope $m$ between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step2: Assign point values

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(1,5)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(4,10)$

Step3: Substitute into formula

$m=\frac{10-5}{4-1}=\frac{5}{3}$

Answer:

B. 5/3
