Question

X What is the slope of the line through the coordinates (5, 1) and (6, 7)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one, Use the formulato calculate slope from coordinates m=$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Step 2, Plug in the values(7 being ${y_{2}$ , 1 being$y_{1}$, 6 being $x_{2}$, and 5 being $x_{1}$

Step 3, Your formula should now look like this $\frac{7-1 }{6-5 }$

Step 4, Once you have this do the math, subtracting 1 from 7 and 5 from 6

Step 5, You should now have $\frac{6}{1}$ if you did everything correctly, if this is the case, just simplify $\frac{6}{1}$ to get 6, and now you have your slope.

Answer 2

Slope=6 because the slope travels upwards by 6
