Question

Find the slope of the line that contains (2, 6) and (5, 7).

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{7}) ~\hfill~ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{7}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{2}}} \implies \cfrac{ 1 }{ 3 }`
