Question

What’s the slope?

( “M”only)

Answer 1

`\LARGE{ \underline{ \purple{ \bf{Required \: answer:}}}}`

We can find the slope (m) by using the formula:

• 
  `\rm{m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) }`

The points given to us:

• (x1 , y1) = (1 , 2)
• (x2 , y2) = (7 , 7)

Plugging the given values of x1, y1, x2 and y2 to find the slope:

`\rm{m = (7 - 2)/(7 - 1) }`

This is equals to,

`\rm{m = (5)/(6) }`

And this is our required result....

Answer 2

slope (m) =
`(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Find the slope by using the following equation:

slope (m) =
`(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Let:

(
`x_1 , y_1`) = (1 , 2)

(
`x_2 , y_2`) = (7 , 7)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

slope (m) =
`(7 - 2)/(7 - 1) = (5)/(6)`

slope (m) =
`(5)/(6)`
