Q. What is the slope of the line through (1,0) and (3,8)? Choose 1 answer: (A) −41 (B) 4 (C) −4 (D) 41
Identify the slope formula: Identify the slope formula.The slope of a line is calculated by the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates.Slope formula: x2−x1y2−y1
Substitute the given points: Substitute the given points into the slope formula.We have the points (1,0) and (3,8). Let's assign (x1,y1)=(1,0) and (x2,y2)=(3,8).Slope: (8−0)/(3−1)
Calculate change in y-coordinates: Calculate the change in y-coordinates.Change in y: 8−0=8
Calculate change in x-coordinates: Calculate the change in x-coordinates.Change in x: 3−1=2
Calculate the slope: Calculate the slope using the changes in y and x.Slope: 28
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction to find the slope.Slope: 28=4
