Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (10,5) and (9,10).

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (10, 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 10 )

m = $\frac{10-5}{9-10}$ = $\frac{5}{-1}$ = - 5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{m=-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Start with Slope Formula

$m=\frac{y^{2-y^{1} } }{x^{2-} ^{x^{1} } }$

• Substitute point values in the formula

$m=\frac{(10-5)}{(9-10)}$

• Simplify each side of the equation

$m=\frac{(10-5)}{(9-10)} =\frac{5}{-1}$

• Solve for slope (m)

$\boxed{m=-5}$

⇒To find the slope of a line, start by finding 2 points along a line and find their x and y values. The value of x is the horizontal distance of the point from the vertical y-axis, and y is the vertical distance of the point from the horizontal x-axis.
