Work with Steps to find Slope of Line passing through (1, 7) & (10, 1)
Question:
What is the slope of a line that passes though point 1 (1, 7) and point 2 (10, 1) on XY plane?
Workout :What is the slope of a line that passes though point 1 (1, 7) and point 2 (10, 1) on XY plane?
step1 Address the formula, input parameters and values
(x1, y1) = (1, 7)
(x2, y2) = (10, 1)
step 2 Apply x1, y1, x2 & y2 in below slope formula.
m = y2 - y1x2 - x1
= 1 - (7)/10 - (1)
= 1 - 7/10 - 1
= -6/9
slope m = -0.6667
