Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct

Slope of the lines that passes through the given points is, $\frac{-6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The points (2 , 6) and (7 ,0).

Slope of a line identify the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of two points on a line by the difference of the x- coordinates of those same two  points.

For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ the slope(m) of a line is given by;

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

Now, substitute the point (2 ,6 ) and ( 7, 0) in the slope formula we have;

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}=\frac{0 - 6}{7-2}$ = $\frac{-6}{5}$

therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points is;   $\frac{-6}{5}$

Answer 2

Slope :  y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

( 2 , 6 ) (7 , 0) 

0 - 6 /  7 - 2

- 6 / 5 is the slope
