find the slope if it exists of the line containing the pair of points
(7,1) and (10,-8)
I have a slope of -3 is this correct?
-8-1/10-7=-9/3 =-3 yes
What’s the slope for (-1,-7) and (-10,-8)
To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's calculate the slope using the given points: (7,1) and (10,-8).
Plug in the values:
m = (-8 - 1) / (10 - 7)
m = (-9) / (3)
m = -3
So, yes, the slope you calculated (-3) is correct.
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Let's calculate the slope using the given points (7,1) and (10,-8):
Change in y-coordinates = -8 - 1 = -9
Change in x-coordinates = 10 - 7 = 3
Slope = (-9) / (3)
Slope = -3
Yes, your calculation is correct. The slope of the line passing through the points (7,1) and (10,-8) is indeed -3.
