Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, 1 )
m = [tex]\frac{1-7}{7-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{5}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Hello there! :)
To find the slope of the line when we are given 2 points, we use the following formula:
m=[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
m=[tex]\frac{1-7}{7-2} \\\frac{-6}{5}[/tex]
So the slope is -6/5. Hope this helps!
