Find the slope of the line that passes through (1,2) (5,7)
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the values from the given points, we have:
slope = (7 - 2) / (5 - 1)
= 5 / 4
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1,2) and (5,7) is 5/4.
