Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (0, 0) and (2, 6)

Answer 1

For this problem, you would use the slope formula, or m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So, let's put in what we know.

The x's and y's correspond with our coordinates. So let's plug that in:

m=(6-0)/(2-0)
m=(6)/(2)
m=3

So, the slope of your line is 3.
