Question

What is slope of (2,10) and (6,12)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The points are (2,10) and (6,12)

To find :-

The Slope

Solution :-

Given points are (2,10) and (6,12)

Let (x₁ ,y₁ ) = (2,10) => x₁ = 2 and y₁ = 10

Let (x₂, y₂) = (6,12) => x₂ = 6 and y₂ = 12

The slope of a line segment joining the points (x₁ ,y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂) is (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The slope of the given points

=> m = (12-10)/(6-2)

=> m = 2/4

=> m = 1/2

Therefore, m = 1/2

Answer :-

The slope of the line segment joining the given points is 1/2

Used formulae:-

The slope of a line segment joining the points (x₁ ,y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂) is (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Answer 2

Slope is ½ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : points are (2,10) and (6,12)

To Find : Slope(m)

Solution :

Slope is calculated by using,

$\boxed{ \bold{ \rm slope(m) = \frac{ y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}}$

then,

$\rm⇢ \: \: m = \frac{12 - 10}{6 - 2}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: m = \frac{2}{4}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: m = \frac{1}{2}$
