Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points

Answer 1

given us,

(x1y1)= (2,5)

(x2y2)= (0,1)

here,

(y-y1)= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)× (x-x1)

or, (y-5)=(1-5)/(0-2)× (x-2)

or, y-5= -4/-2 ×(x-2)

or,y-5= 2(x-2)

or, y-5/ x-2= 2

or,y-5= 2x-4

or, 2x-y= -4+5

:. 2x-y= 1

Explanation:

2x-y= 1

Answer 2

Slope of 2

Explanation:

First thing is to look at the change in x and y from the points. You can do this by subtracting the x valie from the other value and the same for the y values. So you would do 2-0=2.

So we know the change in x between the points, so now we find the change in y. 5-1=4.

Now that we know the change in x and y, we use the expression below to solve for the slope.

`(rise)/(run) \: or \: (y)/(x)`

We can insert what we found and then solve for the equation

`(4)/(2)`

So we solve for that, which is 2. Now we know the slope is 2.
