What is the slope of the line through (6,9) and (7,1)

1 answer:

6 0

Slope of (6, 9) & (7, 1)

To find the slope, we use the equation : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

**Remember : m = slope**

Let's say that (6, 9) is our first set of points, and (7, 1) is our second.

If those are our first and second points, then we now know this :

x₁ = 6, x₂ = 7, y₁ = 9, y₂ = 1

Now that we know that, we can simply plug those points into our slope equation.

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

m = (1 - 9) / (7 - 6 )

Simplify.

m = -8 / 1

Simplify.

m = -8

So, our slope is -8.

Answer:

2 $\frac{1}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you gotta do is find the common denominator.

Do this by listing factors of the denominators:

5- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

6- 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

5 and 6 both have 30 in common so that's the new denominator for all 3 of the terms.

What you do to the bottom you must do to the top.

Since you multiply 5 by 6 to get 30, you must multiply 2 and 4 by 6 as well.

Since you multiply 6 by 5 to get 30, then multiply 5 by 5 as well.

The new equation is:

$\frac{12}{30}$ + $\frac{25}{30}$ + $\frac{24}{30}$ =

Now add the numerators together

The solution is $\frac{61}{30}$ . Now simplify. 61 is prime, so you cannot change the fraction How many times does 30 go into 61? Two times. This gives us 2 $\frac{1}{30}$ .
