Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 1) and (7, 10).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

Answer: Slope = $\frac{9}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$x_{1}$ = 2

$x_{2}$ = 7

$y_{1}$ = 1

$y_{2}$ = 10

Substituting into the formula , we have :

Slope = $\frac{10 - 1}{7 - 2}$

Slope = $\frac{9}{5}$
