Question

Find the slope and reduce.
P=(2, 3) Q=(9, 7)
Slope =

Answer 1

4/7

Explanation:

The formula to find the slope is: (change in y)/(change in x)

Or also: Rise/Run

The change in y is: 3 --> 7 which is +4

The change in x is: 2 --> 9 which is +7

So the (change in y)/(change in x) will be 4/7.

Since 4/7 cannot be simplified further, that is our final answer.

Answer 2

Answer: 4/7

Explanation:

Slope = Rise/Run = (7-3)/(9-2) = 4/7
