Question

PLEASE ANSWER Quick in a game!

Slope of a line passing through
(1, 5) and (7, 9)?
-1/5
5/2
2/3
1/2

Answer 1

Choice 3 (2/3)

Explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x.

If we look at the two coordinates, we'll see that to get from (1, 5) to (7, 9), you need to move up 4 and to the right 6.

4/6 = 2/3, which matches the 3rd choice

Hope this helps

Answer 2

2/3 is the answer
y2-y1
———
x2-x1

so it would be
9-5
——-
7-1

which is 4/6 but if you simplify its 2/3
