D2
D 2
thank u
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given that the coordinates are (c, 3c) and (2c, 5c), we can assign these values to x1, y1, x2, and y2:
x1 = c, y1 = 3c, x2 = 2c, y2 = 5c
Now substitute these values into the formula:
m = (5c - 3c) / (2c - c)
Simplifying the numerator and the denominator:
m = 2c / c
m = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these two points is 2.
So, the correct answer is option D - 2.
