Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 9) and (5, 10).
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) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the given values, we have:
m = (10 - 9) / (5 - 7)
m = 1 / (-2)
m = -1/2
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (7, 9) and (5, 10) is -1/2.
