Q. Find the slope of the line that passes through (9,8) and (4,7). 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: (9,8)Point 2: (4,7)
Use Slope Formula: Use the slope formula, which is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1).Substitute the coordinates into the formula:Slope = (7−8)/(4−9)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.Slope = −1/−5
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction.Slope = 51
