Question 6 (1 point)(4,1)(2,4)

Answer 1

hello

the question given requires us to find the slope of a line from the given points

to find the slope of a line, we can simply use the formula

`\begin{gathered} m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\ m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \end{gathered}`

now, let's identify the points here

`\begin{gathered} y_2=4 \\ y_1=1 \\ x_2=2 \\ x_1=4 \end{gathered}`

we can simply substitute these values into the equation

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(4-1)/(2-4) \\ m=-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

from the calculation above, the slope of the line from the given points is -3/2
