Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1, 1).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1, 1) will be:

• $m=\frac{8}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

• (10, 9)

• (1, 1)

The slope between (10, 9) and (1, 1) is given by

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:9\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:1\right)$

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

$m=\frac{8}{9}$

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1, 1) will be:

• $m=\frac{8}{9}$
