Question

Find the slope of the graph using points 1,2 and 5,10

Answer 1

(y^2 - y^1)/ (x^2 - x^1) = slope

10-2 / 5-1 = 8/4 = 2

The slope of the line is 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

The slope of a line is defined by the formula:

`m=(\Delta \, y)/(\Delta \, x) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

In this problem, we are given two points in the form
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)`.

So, we can define the x's and y's as:

`x_1 = 1`,
`y_1 = 2`,
`x_2 = 5`,
`y_2 = 10`.

Hence, the slope of the line can be solved for.

`m = (10-2)/(5-1)`

`m = (8)/(4)`

`m = 2`

The slope of the line with points (1, 2) and (5, 10) is 2.
