Your Input
Find the slope of the line given two points $$$P = \left(2, 3\right)$$$ and $$$Q = \left(5, 9\right)$$$.
Solution
The slope of a line passing through two points $$$P = \left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$$$ and $$$Q = \left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$$$ is given by $$$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$$$.
We have that $$$x_{1} = 2$$$, $$$y_{1} = 3$$$, $$$x_{2} = 5$$$, and $$$y_{2} = 9$$$.
Plug the given values into the formula for a slope: $$$m = \frac{9 - 3}{5 - 2} = 2$$$.
Answer
The slope of the line is $$$m = 2$$$A.
