Question

A line contains the points (-7,15) and (10,27) what is the slope of the line as a simplified fraction?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of line for given points is   $\frac{12}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points of line as :

A  = ( - 7 , 15 ) i, e $x_1$ = - 7 ,  $x_1$ = 15

B = ( 10 , 27 )  i.e  $x_2$ =  10 , $y_2$ = 27

Let The slope of line be m

So , The slope with two points is given as equation

m = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Or, m =  $\frac{27 - 15}{10 + 7}$

Or, m =  $\frac{12}{17}$

Hence The slope of line for given points is   $\frac{12}{17}$ .  Answer
