QuestionCalculate the slope of the line through points (4,7)(4,7) and (8,10)(8,10). State if it's vertical or horizontal if applicable.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have two points in the-dimensional plane, (4,7)(4,7) and (8,10)(8,10). . The slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1)(x1, y1) and (x,y)(x, y) is given by the formulalope=yy1xx1lope = \frac{y - y1}{x - x1}

STEP 2

Identify the coordinates of the two points. Let (4,7)(4,7) be (x1,y1)(x1, y1) and (8,10)(8,10) be (x2,y2)(x2, y2).

STEP 3

Substitute the coordinates of the two points into the slope formula.
lope=1078lope = \frac{10 -7}{8 -}

STEP 4

Calculate the difference in the y-coordinates (the numerator of the fraction).
107=310 -7 =3

STEP 5

Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates (the denominator of the fraction).
84=48 -4 =4

STEP 6

Substitute these values back into the slope formula.
lope=34lope = \frac{3}{4}So, the slope of the line passing through the points (4,)(4,) and (8,10)(8,10) is 34\frac{3}{4}.
