Question

If a line falls on the points (6,22) and (4,21), what is its slope? Enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms. Use a slash mark (/) as the fraction bar​

Answer 1

slope , m = 1/2

Explanation:

We have two points which are ( 6,22) and (4,21).

To find slope , using slope formula

m = ( y² - y¹ ) / ( x ² - x ¹)

Where,

• m, is the slope
• ( y² - y¹ ) = ( 22- 21 )
• ( x ² - x ¹) = ( 6 - 4 )

Substitute the values into the formula

m = ( 22 - 21 ) / ( 6 - 4 )

m = 1 / 2

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (22-21)/(6-4)

= 1/2
