Find the slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4)
To find the slope you do \(\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }\) so if 4 is \(y_{2}\) and 0 is \(y_{1}\) and 6 is \(x_{2}\) and 2 is \(x_{1}\) then you substitute the variables and get \(\frac{4-0}{6-2}\) which equals 4/4 which is 1. So (D) 1 is the answer.
Answer:
The slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) is 1 .
Option (D) is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is defined as
\(m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
As given in the question
The line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) .
\(x_{1}=2\)
\(y_{1}=0\)
\(x_{2}=6\)
\(y_{2}=4\)
Put all the points in the formula
\(m = \frac{4-0}{6-2}\)
\(m = \frac{4}{4}\)
m = 1
Therefore the slope of the line containing the points V(2,0) and W(6,4) is 1 .
Option (D) is correct .
