Question

What is the slope of the joining ( 8,1 ) and (24,9)

Answer 1

Answer is provided in the image attached.

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{slope=(1)/(2)}`

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (8, 1) and (24, 9).

Substitute:

`m=(9-1)/(24-8)=(8)/(16)=(8:8)/(16:8)=(1)/(2)`
