Question

Find the slope for this question please

Answer 1

to get the slope of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use the points in the picture below.

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{8}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{4}{2}\implies 2`
