Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 3) and (7, 11).

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

Answer 1

Slope of the line is
`-(8)/(3)`.

Explanation:

Given points are:

(10, 3) and (7, 11)

Here,

x1 = 10 and y1 = 3

x2 = 7 and y2 = 11

Slope of a line is given by

`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\m = (11-3)/(7-10)\\\\m = (8)/(-3)`

Therefore,

Slope of the line is
`-(8)/(3)`.
