Question

What is the slope of (-6, 1) and (2,5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope given two points, use the slope formula

m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 5-1)/(2--6)

    = (5-1)/(2+6)

    = 4/8

    = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5)

m = $\frac{5-1}{2+6}$ = $\frac{4}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
