Answer to Problem 5E
The slope of the linepassing through the given points is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A graph:
Concept used:
Calculation:
Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that as x increases the y also increases and line is going uphill, so slope of the given line is positive.
Now we will find the slope of line.
Let point
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is
