Question

If a line falls on the points (25, 24) and (15, 17), what is its slope? Enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms. Use a slash mark (/) as the fraction bar​

Answer 1

7/10

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where ( x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line

m = ( 24-17)/(25-15)

= 7/10

= 7/10
