Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 8) and

(12, 20)? Write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{20}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{20}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{12}-\underset{x_1}{2}}} \implies \cfrac{12}{10}\implies {\LARGE \begin{array}{llll} \cfrac{6}{5} \end{array}}`
