Question

Calculate the slope of the line between these pair of points: (5,4) and (7,6)

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line, use the coordinates of the given points on the following formula:

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Where m is the slope, y1 and y2 are the y coordinates of the points and x1 and x2 are the x coordinates of the points:

$m=\frac{6-4}{7-5}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

The slope of the line is 1.
