What would be the missing piece of information given the following information:
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 6) and (4, 10).
m = ?
a. 2
b.6
c. 1
d. 9
I think it is c.
m = change in y over change in x
m= (10 - 6)/(4 - 2)
It's not c.
To find the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you would use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (2, 6) and (4, 10), we can substitute these values into the formula:
m = (10 - 6) / (4 - 2)
m = 4 / 2
m = 2
So, the correct answer is option "a. 2".
