Subtract the y's: 7 - 2 = 5
Subtract the x's in the same order: 6 - 4 = 2
slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = 5/2
Answer: 5/2
Hello!
To find the slope, you divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values as shown below.
[tex] \frac{7-2}{6-4} =\frac{5}{2} [/tex]
Therefore, our slope is 5/2.
I hope this helps!
