Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 3) and (7, 11).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope of the line is $-\frac{8}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(10, 3) and (7, 11)

Here,

x1 = 10 and y1 = 3

x2 = 7 and y2 = 11

Slope of a line is given by

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{11-3}{7-10}\\\\m = \frac{8}{-3}$

Therefore,

Slope of the line is $-\frac{8}{3}$.
