Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (9, 7)?    ​

Answer 1

slope =1

Explanation:

(1, 1)=(x1,y1)

(9, 7)=(X2, y2)

now,

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

=(7-1)/(9-1)

=8/8

=1

Answer 2

Hey there!

Use the slope formula:

`\bold{\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}`

`\bold{\displaystyle(7-1)/(9-1)}`

Simplify

`\bold{\displaystyle(7)/(8) }\hookleftarrow\text{Slope of the line}`

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
