Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 7) and (3, 15).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.


\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

We can find the slope using the following formula:-


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

Replace the letters with numbers:-


\boxed{(15-7)/(3-10)}


\bigstar On simplification,


\boxed{(8)/(-7)}


\bigstar The slope is


\boxed{-(8)/(7)}

Good luck with your studies.
