Answer 1

The slope of the line that passing through the given points is -9/7.

Given that the line that passes through the two points is (1,12) and (8,3).

We want to find the slope of the given line.

Here, we are given the x-coordinates with their corresponding y-coordinates.

We will use the formula here to find the slope between 2 coordinates of a line is

y₂-y₁=m(x₂-x₁)

The given points is (1,12) and (8,3).

Here, x₁=1, x₂=8, y₁=12 and y₂=3.

Now, we want to substitute the values in the above formula, we get

3-12=m(8-1)

Further, we will simplify the both sides, we get

-9=7m

Furthermore, divide both sides by 7, we get

-9/7=7m/7

-9/7=m

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through the given two points (1,12) and (8,3) is -9/7.
