Question

What is the slope line that passes through (8,7) and (1,2)

Answer 1

The slope is
`(5)/(7)`.

Explanation:

☆Remember:
`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

☆To find the slope, all we need to do is plug in according to the formula.

`m = (2 - 7)/(1 - 8) = ( - 5)/( - 7) = (5)/(7)`

☆Therefore, the slope is
`(5)/(7)`.
