What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points?
(1, 7), (10, 1)
(1 point)
A) The fraction is 3 over 2.
B) negative two-thirds
C)negative three-halves
D) two-thirds
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (1, 7) and (10, 1), we can apply the formula:
slope = (1 - 7) / (10 - 1)
simplify: slope = -6 / 9
reduce: slope = -2 / 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the pair of points is negative two-thirds.
B) negative two-thirds
