Question

What is the slope of (2,12) (4,20)

Answer 1

m = 4

Explanation:

You can find the slope of the line connecting two points with the slope formula, which is m = (y₁ - y₂)/(x₁ - x₂), where (x₁, y₁) is the coordinate of one point, and (x₂, y₂) is the coordinate of another.

Plug in: m = (20 - 12)/(4 - 2)

Subtract: m = 8/2

Simplify: m = 4

Answer 2

This is the formula for slope between two points:

`(y_(2)-y_(1)  )/(x_(2)-x_(1)  )`

`y_(2) =20\\y_(1) =12\\x_(2) =4\\x_(1)=2`

so...

`(20-12)/(4-2)`

`(8)/(2)`

4

The slope is 4
