How do you find the slope for A(1,1), B(6,3)?

1 Answer

Apr 19, 2016

The slope $= \frac{2}{5}$ $= (2) / (5)$

Explanation:

A $(1, 1) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(1, 1) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)$
B $(6, 3) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $( 6, 3) = color(blue)( x_2, y_2)$

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope $= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $= color(blue)((y_2-y_1)/ (x_2 -x_1)$

(change in $y$ $y$ axis divided by change in $x$ $x$ axis)

$= \frac{3 - 1}{6 - 1}$ $= ( 3 -1 ) / (6- 1)$

$= \frac{2}{5}$ $= (2) / (5)$
