Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 10) and (3,1).Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or improper fraction

Answer 1

The formula for the slpe of line passes through point (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Determine the slope of line passes through the points.

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{1-10}{3-10} \\ =\frac{-9}{-7} \\ =\frac{9}{7} \end{gathered}$

So answer is 9/7.
