Answer 1

To find the slope of the line that passes through (9, 10) and (6, 12)

We will use the formula;

`\text{slope =}(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the points given;

x₁ = 9 y₁=10

x₂ = 6 y₂=12

Substitute the values into the formula;

`\text{slope =}\frac{12-10}{6\text{ - 9}}`

Evaluate;

`\text{slope =- }(2)/(3)`
