Question

If you connect the points where Muntinlupa City and Teresa, Rizal are located, what is the slope of the line formed from the two given places?

Answer 1

Using it's formula, it is found that the slope of the line formed from the two given places is of $\mathbf{\frac{6}{7}}$

Given two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x, that is:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

In this problem:

• Muntinlupa is at (-1,-4);
• Teresa, Rizal is at (6,2).

Hence, applying the formula for the slope, considering $(x_1, y_1) = (-1, -4)$ and $(x_2,y_2) = (6,2)$:

$m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{6 - (-1)} = \frac{6}{7}$

The slope is of $\mathbf{\frac{6}{7}}$
