Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (6,10).

1 answer

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (5,2) and (6,10), we use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

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

Plugging the values into the formula, we get:

m = (10 - 2) / (6 - 5)
m = 8 / 1
m = 8

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (5,2) and (6,10) is 8.
