Question

find the slope of the line. the slope is the change in vertical distance for a given change in horizontal distance. you can use any two points on the line to find the slope. lets look at the change in vertical and horizontal distance from (1, 11) to (2, 14). start by labeling the change in vertical distance and horizontal distance on the slope triangle below. slope = \frac{vertical distance}{horizontal distance}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate vertical distance

Vertical distance = \(14 - 11=3\)

Step2: Calculate horizontal distance

Horizontal distance = \(2 - 1 = 1\)

Step3: Calculate slope

Slope = \(\frac{\text{vertical distance}}{\text{horizontal distance}}=\frac{3}{1}=3\)

Answer:

\(3\)
