The slope would be 5. You would use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 and get 30/6 which simplifies to 5

The slope is:

↬ 5

Solution:

To calculate the slope, we will need to use the slope formula :


\hfill\stackrel{\tt{Slope \: Formula}}{\sf{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}}

Where

  • m = slope

  • \sf{x_1,y_1} \: \& \:(x_2,y_2)} are points on the line

So to solve further, we plug in the values.


\sf{m=(80-50)/(12-6)}

Simplify


\sf{m=(30)/(6)}

Reduce the fraction


\sf{m=5}

Hence, this line has a slope of 5.
