Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 7) and (2, 13).

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

Answer 1

Slope is 6/-7

Explanation:

The formula for slope when given two points is = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Answer 2

Answer: m = -6/7

Explanation:

We need to find the slope, given the following pair of points:

(9,7) and (2,13)

Use the formula:

`\sf{m=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}`

Substitute the values:

`\sf{m=\cfrac{13-7}{2-9}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{6}{-7}}`

`\sf{m=-\cfrac{6}{7}}`

Therefore, m = -6/7.
