Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 1) and (7, 10).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

Answer: Slope =
`(9)/(5)`

Explanation:

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

`x_(1)` = 2

`x_(2)` = 7

`y_(1)` = 1

`y_(2)` = 10

Substituting into the formula , we have :

Slope =
`(10 - 1)/(7 - 2)`

Slope =
`(9)/(5)`
