Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (6,2) and (7,4)

Answer 1

The given points are (6,2) and (7,4).

We use the slope formula.

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

Where,

`\begin{gathered} x_1=6 \\ x_2=7 \\ y_1=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}`

Replacing the coordinates, we have.

`m=(4-2)/(7-6)=(2)/(1)=2`

Therefore, the slope is 2.
