Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (8,7) and (4,5)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

(8, 7) is (x1, y1)

(4, 5) is (x2, y2)

Plug in the values:

$\frac{5-7}{4-8}$

solve:

$\frac{-2}{-4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Y2-y1/x2-x1

-2/-4

1/2
