1 H
&
M​

Answer 1

1/2.

Explanation:

The slope = rise / run

= difference in y coordinates / corresponding differences in x coordinates

= (9 - 1) / (24 - 8)

= 8 / 16

= 1/2.

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

The slope between two points is found by

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

= (9-1)/(24-8)

= 8/16

= 1/2
