Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points (7,5) and (9,5).

Answer 1

to my calculations the answer is should be 2/4

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that in order to find the slope of two points you need to substitute the variables and subtract making sure you keep the 2's and the 1's together.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Plugin your numbers:

$=\frac{7-5}{9-5}$

$7-5=2$

$9-5=4$

$=\frac{2}{4}$

Hope this helps.
