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:
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 :)

The graph for the equation y=-2x+1 is shown below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y=-2x+1 and given another equation y=mx+b in order for us to have no solution we must guarantee that both lines do not intersect. Recall that m is the slope of the second equation and b the y-intercept. To guarantee that both lines don't intersect, they must be parallel. To have this result, we must have that they have the same slope but different y intercept. That is take m = -2 and b any value different to +1. For example, the b = 6. So

y = -2x+6 = -2(x-3) is another equation that gives no solution to the system.
