Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 3) and (1, 2).

Answer 1

1/9

Explanation:

(3-2)/(10-1) = 1/9

Answer 2

The slope of the line passes through (10,3) and (1,2) is
`(1)/(9)`

Explanation:

Given:

Two points are (10,3) and (1,2)

To find:

The slope of the line passes through (10,3) and (1,2)

Formula to be used:

Slope m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

Solution:

Let "m" be the slope of the given points (
`x_(1) y_(1)`) and (
`x_(2) y_(2)`)

Here,

`x_(1)` = 10,
`y_(1)` = 3,
`x_(2)` = 1 and
`y_(2)` = 2

Substituting all the above vales we get,

m =
`(2-3)/(1-10)` =
`(-1)/(-9)` =
`(1)/(9)`

Hence, the slope of the line passes through (10,3) and (1,2) is
`(1)/(9)`
