In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, if the x-coordinate of each point is 2 times the y-coordinate, what is the slope of the line?

the slope is 1/2

Work:

if the x-coordinate is two times the y-coordinate, that means you are going up one over two each time

slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

so you can pick two points, like (2, 1) and (4,2) and use the formula

slope= 2-1/4-2= 1/2

answer: x=3 and y=4
