Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -4) and (2, 6).

Answer 1

The slope of this line is 10

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{10}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula.

Slope:

$\sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}=\dfrac{rise}{run}$

y2=6

y1=(-4)

x2=2

x1=4

Solve.

$\sf{\dfrac{6-\left(-4\right)}{2-1}}=\dfrac{6+4=10}{2-1=1}=\dfrac{10}{1}=\boxed{\sf{10}}$

Therefore, the slope is 10, which is our answer.
