Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 10) and (6, 17).

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

Answer 1

-7/3

Explanation:

The formula for finding the slope of a line using two points is:

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

For this case, 9 is x1, 10 is y1

6 is x2 and 17 is y2

Insert these values in the formula and solve:

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

17 - 10 7

---------- = --- = -7/3

6 - 9 - 3
