Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (6, 12)

  1. 1/2
  2. -1/2
  3. 2
  4. -2

hintHint:

Slope of a line that passes through (x1,y1), (x2,y2 ) is
m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction

m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction

The correct answer is: 2


    Given Points (2, 4) and (6, 12).
    Step 1 : Slope of a line that passes through (x1,y1), (x2,y2 ) is
    m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction
    step 2 : substituting the values .
    = 12 - 4 / 6 - 2
    = 8 / 4
    =2 , is the slope of line

    m equals fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction  , m is slope
    and it passes through ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) .
