Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through points (1,7),(10,1)

Answer 1

The slope is:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = (1-7) / (10-1)
 m = -6 / 9
 Rewriting:
 m = -2 / 3
 Answer:
 The slope of the line that passes through points (1,7), (10,1) is:
 m = -2 / 3

Answer 2

Answer:
slope = -2/3

Explanation:
Slope of line can be calculated using the following formula:
slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

We are given:
point (1,7) representing (x1,y1)
point (10,1) representing (x2,y2)

Substitute with the givens in the above formula to get the slope as follows:
slope = $\frac{1-7}{10-1}$ = -2/3

Hope this helps :)
