Question

Calculate the slope of a line passing through point A at (2, 1) and point B at (4, 2). Calculate to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer

m = 1/2

Explanation

Gradient is calculated by:

Change in y/change in x

2-1/4-2 = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line with two given points, you use the formula
`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`.

`m=(2-1)/(4-2)=(1)/(2)=0.5`

The slope is 0.5.
