Question:
find the slope of the line through each pair of points A(1,1), B(6,3)

Answer:

Slope of the line through a pair of points A(1,1), B(6,3) is given by the formula,

%28diffenrence+of++y+coordinates%2Fdifference+of+x+coordinates+%29

==> +%283-1%29%2F%286-1%29


==> +2%2F4

==> +1%2F2, which is the required slope.


Hope you found the explanation useful.


Regards.

slope = change in y/change in x = 3-1/6-1 = 2/5
