Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1, 1) will be:

  • [tex]m=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (10, 9)
  • (1, 1)

The slope between (10, 9) and (1, 1) is given by

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:9\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:1\right)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{1-9}{1-10}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through (10, 9) and (1, 1) will be:

  • [tex]m=\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
