Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (7,5) and (9,5).

Answer 1

to my calculations the answer is should be 2/4

Answer 2

`(2)/(4)`

Explanation:

Remember that in order to find the slope of two points you need to substitute the variables and subtract making sure you keep the 2's and the 1's together.

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Plugin your numbers:

`=(7-5)/(9-5)`

`7-5=2`

`9-5=4`

`=(2)/(4)`

Hope this helps.
