Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (4, 6)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points. The first point is (1, 2) and the second point is (4, 6).
  • Step 2: Label the coordinates. Let (x1, y1) = (1, 2) and (x2, y2) = (4, 6).
  • Step 3: Use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: m = (6 - 2) / (4 - 1).
  • Step 5: Calculate the difference in y-coordinates: 6 - 2 = 4.
  • Step 6: Calculate the difference in x-coordinates: 4 - 1 = 3.
  • Step 7: Now substitute these results back into the formula: m = 4 / 3.
  • Step 8: The slope of the line is 4/3.
