Question

(9,8) and (5, 1)
Slope=

Answer 1

The slope is
`(7)/(4)`.

.

Explanation:

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

☆And now we just plug in!

`m = (1 - 8)/(5 - 9) = ( - 7)/( - 4) = (7)/(4)`

Answer 2

Slope = change in Y over change in X:

Slope = (1 - 8) / (5-9)

Slope = -7/-4

Slope = 7/4
