Find the slope and inclination of the line which passes through the points (1, 2) and (5, 6) ?

Answer»

Slope (m) = \(\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}\) = \(\frac{6-2}{5-1}\) = \(\frac{4}{4}\) = 1

Also slope (m) = tan θ, where θ is the inclination of the line to the positive direction of the x-axis in the anticlockwise direction. 

tan θ = 1 ⇒ θ = tan –11 = 45º.
