Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 6) and (2, 10).

Answer 1

To find the slope between two points (9, 6) and (2, 10), we use the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and calculate it as -4/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes through two points, we use the following formula:

• Slope (m) = (Change in y) / (Change in x) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Applying this formula to the points (9, 6) and (2, 10):

1. Change in y = 10 - 6 = 4
2. Change in x = 2 - 9 = -7
3. Slope (m) = 4 / (-7) = -4/7

Thus, the slope of the line is -4/7.
