Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 3) and (2, 2).

Answer 1

m = 1/7

Explanation:

The slope is rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

We see the y decrease by 1 and the x decrease by 7, so the slope is

-1 / -7 = 1/7

So, m = 1/7

Answer 2

Slope = 1/7

Explanation:

Formula we use,

Slope(m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now required slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (2 - 3)/(2 - 9)

→ m = (-1)/(-7)

→ [ m = 1/7 ]

Therefore, the slope is 1/7.
