Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 8) and (10, 6).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The formula to find the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (1, 8) and (10, 6), so:
m = (6 - 8) / (10 - 1)
m = -2 / 9
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1, 8) and (10, 6) is -2/9.
