Question

Find the slope of the line.​

Answer 1

slope =
`(-1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line using the slope formula,
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`. The formula requires two points from the line - and looking at the graph, (1, 10) and (6, 9) are two points the line passes through (but any other points the line also passes through would work fine, too). So, substitute the points' x and y values into the formula and solve:

`((9)-(10))/((6)-(1)) \\= (-1)/(5)\\`

Therefore,
`-(1)/(5)` is the slope.
