Question

Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Given ↓

• Two points that a line goes through

To Find ↓

• The line's slope

Calculations ↓

When we have two points that a line passes through and asked to determine the slope of the line, the slope formula is going to come in handy.

This is the formula :

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm}slope~formula~: \\ \displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ \end{minipage}}$

y2 and y1 are y-coordinates, and x2 and x1 are x coordinates

Plug in the values :

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm} \displaystyle\frac{0-(-7)}{7-0} \end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\\\begin{minipage}{3cm} \displaystyle\frac{0+7}{7} \end{minipage}}$

Which simplifies to $^7/_7$, or 1
