Q. Line l passes through the points (2,2) and (4,10). What is the slope of line l?
Use Slope Formula: To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula which is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the two points the line passes through.
Substitute Given Points: Substitute the given points into the slope formula. Let (2,2) be (x1,y1) and (4,10) be (x2,y2).Slope = 4−210−2
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction in the numerator and the denominator.Slope = 28
Divide to Find Slope: Divide 8 by 2 to find the slope.Slope = 4
