Question

What is the slope between ( 2,6) (6,8)

a
2

b
1/2

c
3/4

Answer 1

To find the slope between the points (2, 6) and (6, 8), you can use the formula for slope:

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

Where \((x_1, y_1) = (2, 6)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (6, 8)\).

Now, substitute the values:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{8 - 6}{6 - 2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

So the slope between the points (2, 6) and (6, 8) is \(\frac{1}{2}\).

The correct answer is b) \( \frac{1}{2} \).
