D: 6

HELP PLS

Answer 1

Answer: C. 4

Explanation:

According to Edge the answer is 4. I know because even though I was thinking that the answer was 4 but last mintute I chose D. 6 because everyone said that they had gotten the answer right. They insisted it was 6; so I went with everyone and I got it wrong. Therefore, the answer is 4. I should of listen to my gut instinct. I have worked it out below step by step. I finally got the correct answer. Good luck! :)

The slope of a line passes through
`x_(1), y_(1)` and
`x_(2), y_(2)` =
`(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

The line passes through points (2,18) and (8,42).

Then the slope of the given line =
`(42 - 18)/(8 - 2)`

`= (24)/(6) = 4`

The slope of the line = 4, therefore the answer is C. 4. I worked it out.
