Question

Determine the slope of the given line that passes through the points (1,3) and (8,5) Type yours anwsers into a fraction (plsss helpp )

Answer 1

2/7, 2/7 and -7/2

Explanation:

m = slope

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(5-3)/(8-1)`

`m=(2)/(7)`

The slope of given line is 2/7

The parallel slope of given line is also 2/7

`(2)/(7)` ×
`-(7)/(2)` = -14/14 = -1

The perpendicular slope of the given line is -7/2
