Question

question 10 of 10 what is the slope of the line shown below? (6, 6) (1, -4) a. -1/2 b. 2 c. -2 d. 1/2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are two points on the line.

Step2: Identify the points

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(1,-4)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(6,6)$.

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$m=\frac{6-(-4)}{6 - 1}=\frac{6 + 4}{5}=\frac{10}{5}=2$

Answer:

B. 2
