Question

Find the slope of (1,5) and (7,6)

Answer 1

Given two points of coordinates (a,b) and (A,B), the slope between them is given by:

`m=(B-b)/(A-a)`

Notice that the numerator corresponds to the change on the value of the Y-coordinates, while the denominator corresponds to the change on the value of the X-coordinate.

Substitute for (1,5) and (7,6):

`m=(6-5)/(7-1)=(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the slope of (1,5) and (7,6) is equal to 1/6.
