Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (4,2) and (2,1)

Answer 1

Given

Points (4,2) and (2,1)

Find

Slope of the line

Step-by-step explanation

Slope of line is given by

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

so ,

`\begin{gathered} m=(1-2)/(2-4) \\ \\ m=-(1)/(-2) \\ \\ m=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

Hence , the slope of line is m = 1/2
