Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points. (2,3) and (6,4)

Answer 1

Answer

Slope = ¼ = 0.25

Explanation

For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as

$Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For this question,

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (2, 3) and (6, 4)

x₁ = 2

y₁ = 3

x₂ = 6

y₂ = 4

$\text{Slope = }\frac{4-3}{6-2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Hope this Helps!!!
