Answer:

1/7

Explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of the vertical distance and horizontal distance between two points on a line.

Note that zero is tangible if the line is horizontal, and undefined if it is vertical.

Slope = ∆y / ∆x

Coordinates given: (1,8) and (8,9)?

Slope = 9 - 8 / 8 - (1)

Slope = 1 / 7

= 1 / 7
