Question

Line n goes through points A and B. What is the slope of line n?

Point A;(4,7)
Point B:(18,17)

Answer 1

5/7

Explanation:

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

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

m=10/14

simplify

m=5/7

Answer 2

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.
