What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (6, 2) and (7, 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1/ x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order of operations, sir. (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, (6*2-7*1)/(2*2-4*1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhh, my bad I was off. It would be just 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x1 is the x-component of the first point, x2 is the x-component of the 2nd point, and so on. Slope is the vertical change in distance divided by the horizontal change in distance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's right.
