How do you find the slope of the line through the following pair of points (6, 7), (10, 12)?

Answer 1

See below.

Slope is determined in this way:

#slope=frac(y_2-y_1)(x_2-x_1)=frac(12-7)(10-6)=5/4#

To find the slope of the line through the points (6, 7) and (10, 12), you can use the formula:

Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x)

Substituting the coordinates of the two points:

Change in y = 12 - 7 = 5 Change in x = 10 - 6 = 4

Now, divide the change in y by the change in x:

m = 5 / 4

So, the slope of the line is 5/4.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
