Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (1,8) (8,9)

Answer 1

9-8        1
-----  =  -----.  
8-1         7

The answer is 1/7.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of the vertical distance and horizontal distance between two points on a line.

Note that zero is tangible if the line is horizontal, and undefined if it is vertical.

Slope = ∆y / ∆x

Coordinates given: (1,8) and (8,9)?

Slope = 9 - 8 / 8 - (1)

Slope = 1 / 7

= 1 / 7
