Find the slope of the line passing through the points (5,11)&(1,3)?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 3) / (5 - 1)
m = 8 / 4
m = 2

Answer 2

to find slope, formula is change in y over change in x. the coordinates you gave are in the form (x,y) so, it's (11-3)/(5-1)
which is 8/4 which is 2/1
2/1 or just "2" is the slope

Answer 3

Y = 2x + 1

Slope-Intercept Form - y=mx+b B = Y intercept, M = Slope

Slope = 2/1
