Question

Can someone solve the following equation below?

Answer 1

Answer: 5/2

Work Shown

`\text{Given Points: }(x_1,y_1) = (2,2) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (4,7)\\\\m = \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}\\\\m = \frac{\text{y}_(2) - \text{y}_(1)}{\text{x}_(2) - \text{x}_(1)}\\\\m = (7 - 2)/(4 - 2)\\\\m = (5)/(2)\\\\`

The slope of 5/2 means "go up 5, then go right 2".
