Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points: (-7, 7) and (-1, 10).

Answer 1

=1/2

Explanation:

The gradient (m)

`= (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)`

Given points (-7, 7), (-1, 10)

THEREFORE

`= (7 - 10)/( - 7 - ( - 1)) \\ = ( - 3)/( - 7 + 1) \\ = ( - 3)/( - 6) \\ = (1)/(2) .`

The slope of the line passing through the points = 1/2
