Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (10/17,2/17) and (9/17,13/18) a.-18/185 b. -185/18

Answer 1

b) -185/18

Slope of the line
`m = (-185)/(18)`

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given two co-ordinates are

`((10)/(17) , (2)/(17) ),((9)/(17) , (13)/(18) )`

Slope of the line

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

`m = (13/18 - 2/17 )/(9/17 - 10/17 )`

`m = ((221-36)/(18 X 17) )/((-1)/(17) )`

On simplification, we get

`m = (-185)/(18)`
