Question

What is the slope of a line that goes through (2,6) and (4,12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 3

Explanation:

To determine the slope of the line that goes through the given points: (2,6) and (4,12), we use the slope formula.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}$

Substituting the points, we have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{12-6}{4-2} \\ =\frac{6}{2} \\ =3 \end{gathered}$

The slope of the line is 3.
