Question

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,2) and (6,7)?

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the slope, you divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values as shown below.

`(7-2)/(6-4) =(5)/(2)`

Therefore, our slope is 5/2.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Subtract the y's: 7 - 2 = 5

Subtract the x's in the same order: 6 - 4 = 2

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = 5/2

Answer: 5/2
