What is the slope of the line through (1,6) and (0,2)

I will use the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using this method,

first set up a coordinate system.

Now plot both of your points.

Label a point A and label another one B.

I have chosen to label (0,2) A and (1,6) B but it doesn't matter.

Now graph a line through the 2 points.

Now the slope or m is equal to the rise over run

from point A to point B on the coordinate system.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 4 units and run 1 unit.

So our slope or rise over run is 4/1 which reduces to 4.
