Question

10 question What is the slope of. the line that passes through the points(1,7),(10,1)?

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`(1-7=-6)/(10-1=9)=(-6)/(9)=(-6/3)/(9/3)=(-2)/(3)`

Slope is -2/3

Answer is -2/3

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The slope of the line by definition is given by:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Substituting values we have:
m = (7-1) / (1-10)
Rewriting we have:
m = (6) / (- 9)
Simplifying we have:
m = (2) / (- 3)
m = -2 / 3
Answer:
the slope of. the line that passes through the points (1,7), (10,1) is:
m = -2 / 3
