Answer:

77/36

Explanation:

Key skills needed: Slope formula

1) You need to use the slope formula in order to solve this equation. The slope formula is:

Given 2 points
(x_1, y_1) and
(y_2, y_1), the way to find slope is:
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

2) Using this, we can find the slope.

  • 98 is
    x_1
  • 27 is
    y_1
  • 62 is
    x_2
  • -50 is
    y_2

We would do -->
(-50-27)/(62-98) which simplifies into
(-77)/(-36) which is
(77)/(36) (cancel out the negatives and you will get that)
(77)/(36) is the answer.
