Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 4) and (5, 6)?

Answer 1

C. 2/3

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line from two points, use this formula.

`m=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)`

The variable 'm' means slope in algebra.

y² means the second y-coordinate and y^1 means the first y-coordinate.

Based on the previous definition, it should be easy to figure out what x² and x^1 mean.

`(2,4),(5,6)`

`m=(6-4)/(5-2) =(2)/(3)`

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,4) and (5,6) is 2/3.
