#m=3/4#

Given

#P_1(x_1;y_1)=(2;1)#

#P_2(x_2,y_2)=(6;4)#

the Slope is

#m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2−y_1)/(x_2−x_1)#

#m=(4-1)/(6-2)=3/4#

Answer 2 · 2016-01-20T00:04:47

The slope = #(4-1)/ (6-2) = 3/4#

In general for any Cartesian coordinates
# A(x_1, y_1) and B(x_2, y_2) #
the slope is = #(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1 #
