Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 6) and (10,7).Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

The slope between two points is given by:

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

plugging the values of out points we have:

`\begin{gathered} m=(7-6)/(10-1) \\ =(1)/(9) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the slope is 1/9.
