Answer 1

To find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 10) and (1,5)

We will use the formula;

`\text{slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

From the poibts given:

x₁= 7 y₁=10 x₂=1 y₂=5

Substitute the values into the formula:

`\text{slope}=(5-10)/(1-7)`

Evaluate:

`\text{slope}=(-5)/(-6)=(5)/(6)`
