Question

Find the slope of (17,8). (7,3)

Answer 1

The slope is:

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Remember:

`m = (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2 - x_1)`

➼ Plug in

`m = (3 - 8)/(7 - 17) = ( - 5)/( - 10) = (1)/(2)`

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

The formula for slope is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

3-8/7-17

-5/-10

1/2

Best of Luck!
