Answer:

[tex]slope=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following equation:

[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change of the x-axis, otherwise known as the slope.

Insert the values:

[tex](1_{x1},2_{y1})\\(5_{x2},4_{y2})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4-2}{5-1}=\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The slope is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is: y1-y2/x1-x2

The points given are: (x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

In the formula:

y1 is the y-coordinate of the first point

y2 is the y-coordinate of the second point

x1 is the x-coordinate of the first point

x2 is the x-coordinate of the second point

This said, we can plug our points in.

2-4/1-5

Subtract.

-2/-4

Simplify.

-1/-2

The negatives will cancel each other out.

1/2

The slope of the line that cuts through the points (1,2) and (5,4) is 1/2.
