question 2405
21 what is the slope of the line that passes through (5, 4) and (7, 10) ?
a -2
b 2
c -3
d 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

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

Step2: Assign coordinates

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(5,4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(7,10)$

Step3: Calculate slope

$m = \frac{10 - 4}{7 - 5} = \frac{6}{2} = 2$
