Question

Jenny says that the slope of a line through points (0,1) and (6,2) is −1/6. Jenny Is right? How do you know?

Answer 1

Jenny is incorrect. The slope is actually 1/6.

Explanation:

We can check to see if Jenny is correct by using the slope formula.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 2 - 1 / 6 - 0

m = 1 / 6

The slope is actually 1/6 and not -1/6. This means that Jenny is incorrect.
