Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1,7) and (10,1)?

Answer 1

2/3 is the slope. :)
\[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]
the rise is 6 and the run is 9, simplify that to get 2/3. All you've got to do is graph the intercepts :)

Answer 2

Thanks so much. Can you explain how you find the slope. When I graph the two intercepts, what do I do next?

Answer 3

Here i'll show ya :)

So in the drawing I graphed the line. Notice how there are the squares?
