• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula:
  `\displaystyle m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (75, 7)

Point (76, 100)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m = (100 - 7)/(76 - 75)`
2. Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m = (93)/(1)`
3. Simplify:
   `\displaystyle m = 93`

Answer 2

93

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula when given two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 100-7)/(76-75)

= 93/1
