Question

find the slope if it exists of the line containing the pair of points

(1,9) and (7, -1)

Answer 1

Use the slope formula

Answer 2

subtract the points and stack y/x

(1, 9)
-(7, -1)
-------
(-6,10); slope = y/x = 10/-6 = -5/3

Answer 3

(-1-9)/(7-1)

-10/6

-5/3

Answer 4

yea I know that...but i got the wrong answer yesterday...so I am getting help. I put this up last night but the site messed up and now it is gone from my profile.

Answer 5

\[m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{-1-9}{7-1}=\frac{-10}{6}=\frac{-5}{3}\]

Answer 6

my bad... it is 6 and -10 meaning it is meaning -5/3

Answer 7
