Question

Calculate the slope of a line passing through point A at (2, 1) and point B at (4, 2). Calculate to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer

m = 1/2

Explanation

Gradient is calculated by:

Change in y/change in x

2-1/4-2 = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line with two given points, you use the formula $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$.

$m=\frac{2-1}{4-2}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

The slope is 0.5.
