Question

Find the slope of the line that contains (2, 6) and (5, 7).

If the slope is not an integer, enter it is a fraction in simplest form. Do not enter a mixed number. Remember, a fraction in simplest form never contains a negative sign in the denominator. If the slope is undefined, “undefined” should be entered.

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

The slope is equivalent to:

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Now we plug in the coordinates into the equation:

(7-6)/(5-2)=1/3
