Question

What is the slope of the line?
Write the slope as a fraction.

Answer 1

Answer: the slope is 1/4

Explanation:

(2,0.5) (4,1)

Use the formula for finding the slope:

`\boxed {The\ slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }`

`x_1=2\ \ \ \ x_2=4\ \ \ \ y_1=0.5\ \ \ \ y_2=1\\`

Hence,

`\displaystyle\\The\ slope=(1-0.5)/(4-2)\\\\The\ slope=(0.5)/(2)\\\\The\ slope=0.25\\\\The\ slope=(1)/(4)`
