Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4)

Answer 1

To find the slope you do $\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }$ so if 4 is $y_{2}$ and 0 is $y_{1}$ and 6 is $x_{2}$ and 2 is $x_{1}$ then you substitute the variables and get $\frac{4-0}{6-2}$ which equals 4/4 which is 1. So (D) 1 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) is 1 .

Option (D) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is defined as

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

As given in the question

The line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) .

$x_{1}=2$

$y_{1}=0$

$x_{2}=6$

$y_{2}=4$

Put all the points in the formula

$m = \frac{4-0}{6-2}$

$m = \frac{4}{4}$

m = 1

Therefore the slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) is 1 .

Option (D) is correct .
