Find the error
Jacob is finding the slope of the line that passes through x(0,2) and y(4,3).circle his mistake and correct it.

Jacob's mistake is in the** improper labeling** of his points as x(0,2) and y(4,3). The correct notation should be (0,2) and (4,3). Once corrected, the slope of the line passing through these points is found to be 0.25. ;

The named points should be **stated **as (0,2) and (4,3), not x(0,2) and y(4,3). The slope of the line is calculated using the formula m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). These give a slope, m, of 0.25. ;

Jacob's mistake was in the way he labeled his points; they should be referred to simply as (0,2) and (4,3). The slope of the line through these points is calculated using the formula for slope, resulting in a value of 0.25. Therefore, his final notation and calculation needed correction.
