Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points.

A(5, 6), B(10,8)
5/2
2/5
14/15

Answer 1

Answer: 2/5

Explanation:
The slope is equal to the difference of y values divided by the difference of x values

(8-6)/(10-5)
=2/5

**Order matters!! Keep what you subtract in consistent order. Ex) if the numerator was the y values B-A, the denominator need to be the x values of B-A.
