Question

Calculate the slope between the two points given (4,2) (9,8)

Answer 1

We have to use the slope formula

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

Let's replace the points (4,2) and (9,8), where

`\begin{gathered} x_1=4 \\ x_2=9_{} \\ y_1=2 \\ y_2=8 \end{gathered}`
`m=(8-2)/(9-4)=(6)/(5)`

Hence, the slope is 6/5.
