Question

What is the slope Of a line that passes through the points (9,8) and (2,3)?

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{9}}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{-7}\implies \cfrac{5}{7}`
