Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 16) and (10, 8).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the two points (1, 16) and (10, 8), let's substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (8 - 16) / (10 - 1)
= (-8) / 9
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1, 16) and (10, 8) is -8/9.
