Question

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (9,10) and (6,2).Slope, m

Answer 1

Let:

$\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(9,10) \\ (x2,y2)=(6,2) \end{gathered}$

The slope m is given by:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ so: \\ m=\frac{2-10}{6-9}=\frac{-8}{-3}=\frac{8}{3}\approx2.67 \\ \end{gathered}$

Answer:

8/3
