Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 8) and (8,7).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or
integer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope m.

m = 1 /2

m = rise/run = y_2 - y_1 / x_2 - x_1

m = slope

(x_1, y_1) = coordinates of first point in the line

(x_2, y_2) = coordinates of second point in the line
