Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 5) and (1, 1)​

Answer 1

Slope: (4/7)

Explanation:

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

5-1=4

8-1=7

4/7= Slope

Answer 2

Explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , 5)

(x₂ , y₂) = (1 , 1)

`Slope =(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\= (1-5)/(1-8)\\\\=(-4)/(-7)\\\\=(4)/(7)`
