Question

11. Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (1, 7), (10, 1)

Answer 1

m =
`-(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

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

m =
`(1-7)/(10-1)`

m =
`(-6)/(9)`

m =
`-(2)/(3)`

Answer 2

-2/3

Explanation:

slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

slope = (1 - 7)/(10 - 1)

slope = -6/9

slope = -2/3
