Question

Can someone help, please

Answer 1

slope = m = -9/7

Explanation:

(1,17) (8,8)

(X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)

slope = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

then

slope = m = (8-17)/(8-1)

m = -9/7

Answer 2

Answer: -9/7 or -1 2/7

Explanation:

use slope formula

y2-y1/x2-x1

(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

substitute in and solve

8-17/8-1

-9/7

the slope is -9/7
