- 3
- 1
- 2
- 4
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 2
Rise is 11 - 3 = 8 and run is 6 - 2 = 4, so the slope is 8/4 = 2.

Worked practice questions
Find the slope of the line joining the points (1, 5) and (4, 14).
- 3
- 2
- 6
- 4
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 3
The change in y is 9 and the change in x is 3, giving a slope of 3.
Points (3, 7) and (5, 3) lie on a line. Its slope is
- -2
- -4
- 2
- 4
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. -2
The y value falls by 4 while x rises by 2, so the slope is -4/2 = -2.
