Question

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

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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

`color(green)(m = (9 - 3) / (8 - 1) = 6 /1 = 6`
