      Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 7) and (3, 15).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

$\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}$

We can find the slope using the following formula:-

$\boxed{\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

Replace the letters with numbers:-

$\boxed{\frac{15-7}{3-10}}$

$\bigstar$ On simplification,

$\boxed{\frac{8}{-7}}$

$\bigstar$ The slope is

$\boxed{-\frac{8}{7}}$

Good luck with your studies.
