Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (6,10). *

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 8

Explanation:

Use this formula for calculating the slope with two points:

`(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

(5,2) = (
`x_(1)`,
`y_(1)`)

(6,10) = (
`x_(2), y_(2)`)

Substitute the points into the equation

10 - 2 = 8

-------- --- = 8

6 - 5 = 1

So the slope would be 8.

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

`(10 - 2)/(6 - 5) = 8`
