Question

How do you find the slope for A(1,1), B(6,3)?

Answer 1

The slope `= (2) / (5)`

Explanation:

A `(1, 1) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)`
B `( 6, 3) = color(blue)( x_2, y_2)`

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope `= color(blue)((y_2-y_1)/ (x_2 -x_1)`

(change in `y` axis divided by change in `x` axis)

`= ( 3 -1 ) / (6- 1)`

`= (2) / (5)`
