Using the slope​ formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.

(1,5) and (3,7)

1 answer

The slope formula is given by:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substituting the given coordinates:

m = (7 - 5) / (3 - 1)
m = 2 / 2
m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the line through the given points is 1.
