Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (3, 18).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

Answer: Slope of the line is -9/7

Explanation:

Given :

Points : (10,9) and (3,18)

Now slope of line when two points are given

m=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Slope =
`(18-9)/(3-10)`

m=
`(9)/(-7)`

m=
`(-9)/(7)`

This is an improper fraction since numerator is greater than the denominator

Hence slope of the line is -9/7
