Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6,5) and (4,10).Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer

Answer 1

We have to use the slope formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Let's replace the given points (6,5) and (4,10), where

`\begin{gathered} x_1=6 \\ x_2=4 \\ y_1=5 \\ y_2=10 \end{gathered}`
`m=(10-5)/(4-6)=(5)/(-2)=-(5)/(2)`Hence, the answer is -5/2.
