Question

5.
(4, 2) and (7, 6.5)

Formula: ___________
Slope:___________

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points (4,2) and (7,6.5) is 45/ 3

The slope (m) of a line passing through two points
`(X_1,Y_1)` and
`(X_2,Y_2)` can be calculated using the formula:

`m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

For the points (4,2) and (7,6.5), let
`(x_1, y_1)` be (4,2) and
`(x_2, y_2)` be (7,6.5). Now plug the values into the formula:

`m= (6.5- 2)/(7-4) \\m= (4.5)/(3)`

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (4,2) and (7,6.5) is 45/ 3
