Question

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (2,-1) and (6,1)

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is
`(1)/(2)`.

Explanation:

1. You set up your Slope Formula
`M=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`.

2. Substitue your points into the formula.
`M=(1--1)/(6-2)`.

3. Once you substitute, you will solve the equation
`M=(2)/(4)`.

4. Simplify the equation if you have to
`M=(1)/(2\\)`.
