Question

What is the slope of the line that cuts through the points (1, 2) and (5, 4)? a. 2 c. One-half b. -2 d. Negative one-half Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 1/2 or one-half if the line that cuts through the points (1, 2) and (5, 4) option (c)  One-half is correct.

What is the slope?

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have a line that cuts through the points (1, 2) and (5, 4).

The slope of a line:

$\rm m =\dfrac{4-2}{5-1}$

m = 2/4

m = 1/2

Thus, the slope of the line is 1/2 or one-half if the line that cuts through the points (1, 2) and (5, 4).
