Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points?

(6, 2) and (7, 4)
I was thinkin 1/2 but i dont kno

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 4-2 }{ 7-6} = ?$$
Can you go from there?

anonymous · Answer

nope, i dont kno how to do this

anonymous · Answer

tbh i jus need the answer

anonymous · Answer

You subtract 2 from 4, and you get 2.
Then, you subtract 6 from 7, and get 1.
Therefore, your slope is 2/1. Do you get it?

Remember, this is the formula to find the slope:
$$\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }$$
