Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (6,7) and (1,5)

Answer 1

2/5 because starting from (1,5), you would have to move upwards twice. Then move 5 lines to the right. (This is if you're using a graph).

Answer 2

2/5

Explanation:

The formula for slope is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (5-7)/(1-6)

=-2/-5

=2/5
