Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1,4).

Answer 1

Answer:

From the values given

x₁= 10 y₁=9

x₂=1 y₂=4

m= y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

m = (4 - 9)/(1-10)

m= -5/-9

m=5/9.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = rise / run (delta y / delta x)

delta y = y1 - y2 = 9 - 4 = 5

delta x = x1 - x2 = 10 - 1 = 10

slope = 5 / 10 = 1/2
