Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7,-5) and (16,7) in simplest form ?

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

• look for gradient

gradient=

`(change \: in \: y)/(change \: in \: x?)`

• change in y

7--5=12

• change in x

16-7=9

• gradient

12÷9=4/3

the gradient is the same as slope

thus the answer is 4/3
