To find the slope in a line. You need to choose two point in that line:
You have points coordinates: (x,y)
p1 : (2,5)
p2 : (6.7)
You draw two lines to form a right triangle with those two points and find the distance is y and the distance in x:
The slope is:
[tex]m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}[/tex][tex]m=\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
simplify:
[tex]m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]The slope of the given line is: 1/2
