Question

what is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,3) and (4,7)?
1.5
2
0.5
4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope $m$ of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.

Step2: Identify values of points

Here, $x_1 = 2,y_1=3,x_2 = 4,y_2 = 7$.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{7 - 3}{4 - 2}=\frac{4}{2}=2$.
