Find the slope of the line that passes through (8,4) and (1,9). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Respuesta :

Remember that the formula for slope between ponits (a,c) and (b,d) is:

[tex]m=\frac{d-c}{b-a}[/tex]

Using this, and the points given:

[tex]m=\frac{9-4}{1-8}\rightarrow m=\frac{5}{-7}\Rightarrow m=-\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

This way, the slope is -5/7
