To find the slope of the line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we use the formula:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (1, 2) and (4, 4). Plugging the values into the formula:
Slope = (4 - 2) / (4 - 1)
Slope = 2 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (4, 4) is 2/3.
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (1, 2) and (4, 4). Plugging the values into the formula:
Slope = (4 - 2) / (4 - 1)
Slope = 2 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (4, 4) is 2/3.
