Question

What is the slope of (17, 11) (5, 0)

Answer 1

- The formula for the slope is given below:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{where,} \\ (x_1,y_2)\text{ and (}x_2,y_2)\text{ are the coordinates of the points given} \end{gathered}`

- We have been given the points (17, 11) and (5, 0).

- Thus, we can proceed to find the slope as follows:

`\begin{gathered} x_1=17,y_1=11 \\ x_2=5,y_2=0 \\ \\ \therefore m=(0-11)/(5-17)=-(11)/(-12) \\ \\ \therefore m=(11)/(12) \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

The value for the slope is

`\therefore m=(11)/(12)`
