Question

What is the slope between the two points (4, 14) and (2, 4)?

Answer 1

Hint: Set up two equations using y = mx + b

Answer 2

Okay, thank you so much!

Answer 3

14 = 4m + b
4 = 2m + b

Isolate b in both equations:

b = 14 - 4m
b = 4 - 2m

Answer 4

set b = b and solve for m

14 - 4m = 4 - 2m
14 - 4 = 4m - 2m
10 = 2m
10/2 = m
5 = m

Therefore, the slope is 5

Answer 5

All you need is y = mx + b

Answer 6

Remember, in the formula y = mx + b, m represents the slope.
