Question

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

a. –2/3
b. 3/2
c. 2/3
d. –3/2

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

A. -2/3

*The answer must have a fraction.*

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: -2/3

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x,y)
x1=1
y1=7
x2=10
y2=1

slope=(1-7)/(10-1)=-6/9=-2/3
answer is A
