Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (9,4) and (7, 1). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (9,4) and (7, 1), the slope of the line joining these points is calculated using the formula below:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}`

Substituting the given values:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=(4-1)/(9-7) \\ =(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The slope of the line joining the given points is 3/2.
