Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, 7) and (16, 22)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{16}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{22}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{22}-\stackrel{y1}{7}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{16}-\underset{x_1}{6}}} \implies \cfrac{15}{10}\implies {\LARGE \begin{array}{llll} \cfrac{3}{2} \end{array}}`
