Question

Line AB contains points A (8,-4) and B (1, -5). The slope of line AB is

Answer 1

Let, the points be A (8, −4) and B (1, −5). The slope of line AB exists 1/7.

How to estimate the slope of line AB?

Utilize the slope formula to estimate the slope of a line provided the coordinates of two points on the line.

The slope formula exists $m = (y_{2} -y_{1})/(x_{2} - x_{1} )$, or the difference in the y values over the difference in the x values. The coordinates of the first point symbolize $x_{1}$and $y_{1}$. The coordinates of the second points exist $x_{2} , y_{2} .$

The slope of the line exists the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise separated by the run.

$m = (y_{2} -y_{1})/(x_{2} - x_{1} )$

The Line, AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5).

Substitute the value of points in the equation then we get

$m = (y_{2} -y_{1})/(x_{2} - x_{1} )$

m = (-5-(-4))/(1 - 8)

Simplifying the above equation, we get

m = (-5+4)/(1 - 8)

m = (-1)/(-7)

m = 1/7

Therefore, the slope of line AB exists 1/7.
