Question

try another one. line n goes through points a and b. what is the slope of line n? solve on paper, then enter your answer on zearn. point a : (5, 6) point b : (15, 12) the slope of line n is \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope $m$ between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step2: Assign point coordinates

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(5,6)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(15,12)$

Step3: Substitute into slope formula

$m=\frac{12-6}{15-5}=\frac{6}{10}$

Step4: Simplify the fraction

$m=\frac{3}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$
