Question

A line has a point with the coordinates (0,6) and a point with the coordinates (2,9) What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

You can't find the slope of a line if only given one point. If you had a visual representation of the line such as a graph or a table you could find a second point and then use the formula for slope, y = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1). Imagine a single point on the xy graph.

Explanation:

Answer 2

1 1/2 or 1.5

Explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Given

x1 = 0

y1 = 6

x2 = 2

y2 = 9

Therefore,

Slope = 9 - 6 /2 - 0

= 3/2

= 1 1/2 or 1.5
