Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 4) and (10, 10).
Cimplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction,

Answer 1

The slope is the "rise over run" or "change in y-values over the change in x-values."

The change in the y-values is the difference between them:

10 - 4 = 6

Change in y = 6

The change in the x-values is the difference between them:

10 - 5 = 5

Change in x = 5

So, the slope is 6/5 or 1 and 1/5.
