Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (13,10) ,(5,-7) #?

Answer 1

`17/8` is the slope

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line using two points on the line, divide the difference of the y-coordinates by the difference of the x-coordinates:

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

`(-7-10)/(5-13)`

`(-17)/(-8)`

`17/8`
