For the points you've given, the correct answer is not listed! One way to solve the problem is just to use a graph -- the points are not far away from the origin, and they have whole number coordinates. (See graph.)
Slopt = "rise" / "run"ย so to get from (2, 2) to (4, 3), you "rise" +1 and "run" +2. The slope is 1/2.
If the points are (2, 2) and (4, 3), then the slope would be 2.
You can always use a formula to find the slope:
which tells the slope of a line joining points
and
.
The formula says
Slope = (second y minus first y) / (second x minus first x)
It always works unless
, in which case the line is vertical and has NO defined slope.
