Question

What is the slope of the line that passes thru the pair of points (1,7) and (10,1)

Answer 1

- 2/3 is the slope

Explanation:

y2-y1 over x2-x1

so 1-7 over 10-1

1-7 = -6

10-1 = 9

-6/9 reduce is -2/3

Answer 2

The slope is -2/3

Explanation:

Slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

= (1-7)/(10-1)

= -6/9

=-2/3
