Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (7,6) and (10,4)

Answer 1

The formula for the slope of line passing through line (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Determine the slope of line passing through the points.

`\begin{gathered} m=(4-6)/(10-7) \\ =-(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

So slope of the line is -2/3.
