Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(10,-2) , (1, 4)`?

Answer 1

`color(brown)(m = -(2/3)`

Explanation:

Slope of a line is found using the following formula

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

Given : `(x_1, y_1) = (10, -2), (x_2, y_2 ) = (1, 4)`

`:. m = (4 +2) / (1-10) = 6/-9`

`color(brown)(m = -(2/3)`
