Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 7) and (4, 5)

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ (1)/(2) }}}`

Explanation:

`\star{ \text{ \: Let the points be A and B}}`

`\star{ \text{ \: Let A( 8 , 7 ) be ( x1 , y 1) and B ( 4 , 5 ) be ( x2 \: , y2 )}}`

`\boxed{ \sf{ \: Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) }}`

`\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = (5 - 7)/(4 - 8) }}`

`\underline{ \text{Remember!}} :`The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer

`\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = ( - 2)/( - 4)}}`

`\mapsto{ \sf{Slope = (1)/(2) }}`
