Find the slope, if it exists, of the line containing the pair of points.
(1, 0) and (0, -7)
The slope is __
The slope of a line is given by the formula: slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Let's label the first point as (x1, y1) and the second point as (x2, y2).
From the given points, the first point is (1,0) and the second point is (0,-7).
The change in y-coordinates is y2 - y1 = -7 - 0 = -7.
The change in x-coordinates is x2 - x1 = 0 - 1 = -1.
Therefore, the slope = (-7)/(-1) = 7.
The slope of the line containing the points (1, 0) and (0, -7) is 7.
