Question

What is the slope of a line that includes the points $(4,1)$ and $(10,6)$?

• A. $2$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{5}{6}$
• D. $\frac{6}{7}$
• E. $-\frac{7}{6}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{5}{6}$

We know that the formula for slope of a line is
$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Here let us consider
$(x_1,y_1)=(4,1)$
$(x_2,y_2)=(10,6)$
Putting this values, we get
$m=\frac{6-1}{10-4}=\frac{5}{6}$
