Question

If a line passes through (6,4) and (12,7), what is the slope? I really need help and if you can please explain how you got the asnwer

Answer 1

0.5 OR 1/2

Explanation:

Since the two points are (6,4) and (12,7) you would find the distance in x and y.

Slope = change in y/ change in x

Change in y: the y coordinates are 4 and 7, so 4 + 3 = 7. +3 is the change.

Change in x: the x coordinates are 6 and 12, so 6 + 6 = 12. +6 is the change.

Slope = 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%

Hope this helps :D
