Find the slope that passes through points (5, 2) and (6, 10). Show your work.

Question

*Remember the formula to find the slope: y2 -y1
x2-x1

Answer 1

Using the points (5, 2) and (6, 10),

Let (x1, y1) = (5, 2) and (x2, y2) = (6, 10)

Therefore,
y2 - y1 = 10 - 2 = 8
x2 - x1 = 6 - 5 = 1

Therefore, the slope passing through the points (5, 2) and (6, 10) is:
8/1 = 8

So, the slope is 8.
