Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

From your given points (4, 4) and (2, 2), we can assign:

- \( (x_1, y_1) = (2, 2) \)
- \( (x_2, y_2) = (4, 4) \)

Now plug these values into the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{4 - 2}{4 - 2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
\]

Thus, the slope of the line is:

\[
\boxed{1}
\]
