Q. Find the slope of the line that passes through (1,14) and (10,10). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer. _____
Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of the two points.Point 1: (x1,y1)=(1,14)Point 2: (x2,y2)=(10,10)We will use these coordinates to calculate the slope of the line.
Recall Slope Formula: Recall the formula for the slope m of a line given two points: m=x2−x1y2−y1. We will plug in the values from Step 1 into this formula.
Calculate Slope: Calculate the slope using the coordinates from Step 1 and the formula from Step 2.m=(10−14)/(10−1)m=(−4)/(9)The slope of the line is −94.
