Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (4,2), (8,4)?A-1/2B. 2C8D 1/2E-4

Answer 1

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(4,2) \\ (x2,y2)=(8,4) \\ \end{gathered}`

You can find the slope using the following formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\ m=(4-2)/(8-4)=(2)/(4)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
