$Slope of line m = 6$ $color(green)("Slope of line " m = 6$

$G i v e n : (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (8, 9), (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (7, 3)$ $"Given : (x_2, y_2) = (8,9), (x_1, y_1) = (7,3)$

Slope of a line, given two points on the line is given by

$Slope m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $"Slope " m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$m = \frac{9 - 3}{8 - 1} = \frac{6}{1} = 6$ $color(green)(m = (9 - 3) / (8 - 1) = 6 /1 = 6$

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (8,9) , (7,3)(8,9),(7,3)(8,9) , (7,3)?
