Line AB contains points A(0,1) and B(1,5). The slope of line AB is ... ?
Solution:
The slope formula is
m = (y\(_2\) - y\(_1\) )/ (x\(_2\) - x\(_1\) )
where the points on the line are A (x\(_1\), y\(_1\)) and B (x\(_2\),y\(_2\))
The slope is the ratio of the change in the y coordinates to the change in the x coordinates.
The two points on the line AB are A(0,1) and B(1,5)
Substituting it in the formula
m = (5 -1)/ (1- 0)
m = 4/1
m = 4
Therefore, the slope of line AB is 4.
Line AB contains points A(0,1) and B(1,5). The slope of line AB is ... ?
Summary:
Line AB contains points A(0,1) and B(1,5). The slope of line AB is 4.
