Question

~**~*~**~ WILL GIVE MEDALLL~*~**~*. . A line passes through the points whose coordinates are (c, 3c) and (2c, 5c). Assuming that c is not 0, find the slope of the line.. . a. -2. b. -1/2. c. 1/2. d. 2

Answer 1

I believe that the answer is c, 1/2 (I'm not 100% sure, so someone else please weigh in)

Answer 2

Given two points, the slope (m) of the line is calculated by,
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where x and y are the coordinates of the points. Substituting the values,
m = (5c - 3c) / (2c - c)
Factoring out c from both the numerator and denominator gives an answer of,
m = 2
Thus, the slope of the line is 2.
