To find the slope of a line given two points, you should use the formula,
Slope=y2-y1/x2-x1.

In this exercise is given the coordinates of two points and it is asked to find the slope of the line which intercepts both points, which are (1,7) and (10,1). To find the slope, you should substitute the given coordinates into the previous mention formula.

Slope=y2-y1/x2-x1
Slope=(7-1)/(1-10)
Slope=-6/9
Slope=-2/3

The slope of the line that passes through the points (1,7) and (10,1) is -2/3.

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{1-7=-6}{10-1=9}=\frac{-6}{9}=\frac{-6/2}{9/3}=\frac{-2}{3}$

Slope is -2/3

Answer: -2/3

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

What is the area of an equilateral triangle that has 2 yards and a height of 4.25 ft?

RUDIKE [14]

The first thing you need to do is convert the yards into feet. In one yard there are three feet. So 2*3=6 now you can do the triangle area equation. 6*4.25=25.5 then divide by two. 25.5/2=12.75So the area of the triangle is 12.75 ft^2Hope this helps
