Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, 2) and (4, 10)?

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&(6\quad ,&2)\quad &(4\quad ,&10)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = m= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

i got -2.5 but thats not one of the given answrs

Answer 3

Answer 4

So, from the formulas we have, there is one which may determines a slope, given 2 points. It is:\[(y _{1}-y_{2})/(x _{2}-x _{1})\]

Answer 5

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&(6\quad ,&2)\quad &(4\quad ,&10)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = m= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\implies \cfrac{(10)-(2)}{(4)-(6)}\)
