m =y2-yiX2-X1Find the slope of the line that passesthrough these two points.Simplify completely.(1,5) (4,6)[?]m =

Answer 1

We can calculate the slope for the points (x1,y1) = (1,5) and (x2,y2) = (4,6) as:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(6-5)/(4-1) \\ m=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

The slope of the line that passes through this two points is 1/3.

Answer: m = 1/3
