Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points at (4,9) and (1,7)

Answer 1

2/3 is the slope

Explanation:

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

(7-9)/(1-4)

2/3

Answer 2

Answer: m = 2/3

Explanation:

Given pair of points:

(4,9) and (1,7)

To find the slope, use the formula;

`\star\large\quad\boldsymbol{\sf{m=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}`

where

• m = slope

Put in the values :

`\sf{m=\cfrac{7-9}{1-4}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{-2}{-3}}`

`\sf{m=\cfrac{2}{3}}`

Therefore, m = 2/3.
