How do you find the slope given (2,4)(3,8)?

Answer 1

#m=4/1#, or simply #4#.

Use the formula #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# to find the slope of a line with the two points #(2,4)# and #(3,8)#. The slope is denoted by #m#, and the two points are represented by #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)#.

Assign #(2,4)# to #(x_1,y_1)# and #(3,8)# to #(x_2,y_2)#.

Enter the two points as substitutes in the equation.

##=# #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(8-4)/(3-2)

graph{y=4x-4 [-14.06, 14.41, -7.69, 6.55]} #m=4/1#, or just #4#

To find the slope given the points (2,4) and (3,8), you use the formula for slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the given coordinates into the formula, you get m = (8 - 4) / (3 - 2), which simplifies to m = 4 / 1, resulting in a slope of 4.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
