Find the slope of a line passing through the points A(3, 1) and B(5, 3).
Solution:
The slope of the line joining two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Let A(3, 1) = (x1, y1) and B(5, 3) = (x2, y2)
Slope of AB = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
= (3 - 1)/(5 - 3)
= 2/2 = 1
Find the slope of a line passing through the points A(3, 1) and B(5, 3).
Summary:
The slope of a line passing through the points A(3, 1) and B(5, 3) is 1.
