Question

What is the slope of a line passing through (4,4) and (6,10)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is;

$3$

Explanation:

We want to find the slope of the line passing through the points;

$(4,4)\text{ and (6,10)}$

Recall that the slope m of a line can be calculated using the formula;

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

substituting the given coordinates;

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{10-4}{6-4} \\ m=\frac{6}{2} \\ m=3 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is;

$3$
