Question

What is the slope between the two points (9,7) and
(5,5)

Answer 1

The answer is

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

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(9,7) and (5,5)

The slope is

`m = (5 - 7)/(5 - 9) = ( - 2)/( - 4) = (2)/(4) = (1)/(2) \\`

We have the final answer as

`(1)/(2) \\`
