Answer:
[tex]m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line, also known as the change in the line or the ([tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]) can be found using the following formula,
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Where ([tex]x_1,y_1[/tex]) and ([tex]x_2,y_2[/tex]) are points on the line. Substitute the given information into the formula and solve for the slope.
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Points on the line: [tex](4,4)\ \ \ (10, 7)[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{7-4}{10-4}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m=0.5[/tex]
