Question

A line contains the points (-7,15) and (10,27) what is the slope of the line as a simplified fraction?

Answer 1

12/17

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of line for given points is
`(12)/(17)`

Explanation:

Given points of line as :

A = ( - 7 , 15 ) i, e
`x_1` = - 7 ,
`x_1` = 15

B = ( 10 , 27 ) i.e
`x_2` = 10 ,
`y_2` = 27

Let The slope of line be m

So , The slope with two points is given as equation

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

Or, m =
`(27 - 15)/(10 + 7)`

Or, m =
`(12)/(17)`

Hence The slope of line for given points is
`(12)/(17)` . Answer
