Question

Points a and b are on the different sides of a line 7. The distance between point a and line / is 10 in. The distance between point b and line / is 4 in. What is the distance between midpoint o of segment ab and line /?

Answer 1

The slope for the line passing through Point 1: (1, 0.1) and Point 2: (7, 26.8) is calculated using the slope formula and is found to be 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the slope of a line passing through two given points. The formula to find the slope (m) is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

To find the slope of the line passing through Point 1: (1, 0.1) and Point 2: (7, 26.8), we use the formula as follows:

m = (26.8 - 0.1) / (7 - 1) = 26.7 / 6 = 4.45

Therefore, option b. 4.5 is the correct choice for the slope of the line through the two points.
