(2, 4) and (1, 1) (4, 6) and (2, 7)
Answer
The slope of Set #1 is smaller than the slope of Set #2.
The slope of Set #1 is larger than the slope of Set #2.
The slope of Set #1 is the same as the slope of Set #2.
None of the statements above describes slopes of sets shown.

slope of any line through two points is :

$$(y _{2}^{}-y _{1}^{}) \div (x _{2}^{}-x _{1}^{})$$

now compare slope for both points!!

apoorvk · Answer

i mean for both sets!!

I still don't understand... Please help!

apoorvk · Answer

if there is line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), then the equation above gives the slope value for that line...

now you have been given two sets of two points each. substitute the values, and find slope for each set. and then compare the options.
