Answer:
slope = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 2)
m = [tex]\frac{2-1}{4-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
We can use [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] to find the slope, where [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] are both points.
Plug in the values. [tex]\frac{2-1}{4-2}[/tex]
Subtract. [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
