Question

Average slope of 2,3

Answer 1

To calculate the average slope between two points, you can use the formula for the slope \( m \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\):

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

However, you've given a pair of numbers (2 and 3) without specifying the coordinates of the points. If we take these as two points on a vertical line, for example, (2, y1) and (2, y2), the slope would be undefined since the \( x \) values are the same.

If you're referring to a single point or if you meant the coordinates of two points like (2, 0) and (2, 3), please clarify so I can help you accurately.

If you meant the points (0,2) and (1,3), then the calculation would be:

1. Let \((x_1, y_1) = (0, 2)\)
2. Let \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 3)\)

Now, plugging into the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{3 - 2}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1
\]

So in that case, the average slope is 1. Please clarify your points if needed!
