Find the slope of the line through (2, 3) and (6, 11)

Worked through step by step. More algebra.

Answer
2\boxed{2}

Checking the result using the points, moving from (2,3)(2, 3) to (6,11)(6, 11) means an increase of 44 in xx results in an increase of 88 in yy, giving a slope of 84=2\frac{8}{4} = 2.

Problem: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,3)(2, 3) and (6,11)(6, 11).

Steps

  1. Recall the slope formula
    m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  2. Substitute the given coordinates into the formula
    m=11362m = \frac{11 - 3}{6 - 2}
  3. Simplify the numerator and the denominator
    m=84m = \frac{8}{4}
  4. Divide
    m=2m = 2
