Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (10,17) (78)

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Hi there!

Slope =
`\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)` where two points on the line are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the given points (10,17) and (7,8):

`=\displaystyle (17-8)/(10-7)\\\\=\displaystyle (9)/(3)\\\\= 3`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 3.

I hope this helps!
