Question

(10, 8) and (1, 13) slope

Answer 1

`slope \: = (13 - 8)/(1 - 10) = (5)/( - 9)`

Hope it helps......

Answer 2

The slope of points (10, 8) and (1, 13) is
`-(5)/(9)` .

Explanation:

Let's refer to the slope formula.

`Slope=(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)- x_(1) )`

Let's solve it!

Step 1. Identify the variables for the formula.

x₁ will always be the lesser value of x. Therefore, x₁= 1.

x₂ is the remaining x value, x₂= 10.

y₁ will be the value that x₁ has inside it's parenthesis. Hence, y₁= 13.

y₂ is the remaining y value, y₂= 8.

Step 2. Insert the values in the slope formula.

`Slope=(8 -13 )/(10- 1 )=(-5)/(9) =-(5)/(9)`

Step 3. Express your result.

The slope of points (10, 8) and (1, 13) is
`-(5)/(9)` .
