Question

X

What is the slope of the line through the
coordinates (5, 1) and (6, 7)

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 6

Explanation:

Step one, Use the formulato calculate slope from coordinates m=
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Step 2, Plug in the values(7 being
`{y_(2)` , 1 being
`y_(1)`, 6 being
`x_(2)`, and 5 being
`x_(1)`

Step 3, Your formula should now look like this
`(7-1 )/(6-5 )`

Step 4, Once you have this do the math, subtracting 1 from 7 and 5 from 6

Step 5, You should now have
`(6)/(1)` if you did everything correctly, if this is the case, just simplify
`(6)/(1)` to get 6, and now you have your slope.

Answer 2

Slope=6 because the slope travels upwards by 6
