What is the slope of this line? 4,6 2,3

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line passing through the points $(4,6)$ and $(2,3)$, we can use the formula for the slope $m$:

$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

Assign the points:

• $(x_1,y_1)=(4,6)$
• $(x_2,y_2)=(2,3)$

Now substitute the values into the formula:

$$m=\frac{3-6}{2-4}=\frac{-3}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Thus, the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{2}$.
