Question

How do you find the slope given (4,8) and (6,10)?

Answer 1

Find the ratio of y to x by finding the change in y and dividing by the change in x

Explanation:

Slope = `( y_1- y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

Put the values for x and y from the points into the equation

Slope (m) = `( 8 -10)/ (4-6)` Subtracting results in

Slope (m) = `(-2)/(-2)` Which gives

Slope (m) = 1
