Answer:

5/7

Explanation:

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

m=(17-7)/(18-4)

m=10/14

simplify

m=5/7

Answer:

The slope is 5/7.

Explanation:

Use a slope formula.

Slope:


\sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }

y₂ = (17)

y₁ = (7)

x₂ = (18)

x₁ = (4)

Rewrite the problem down.


\sf{(17-7)/(18-4)=(10)/(14)={(10/2)/(14/2)=\boxed{\sf{(5)/(7)}}

Therefore, the slope is 5/7.

I hope this helps! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
