Answer:
[tex]m=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line passing through the two points [tex]\displaystyle{\large{{P}={\left({x}_{{1}},{y}_{{1}}\right)}}}[/tex] and[tex]\displaystyle{\large{{Q}={\left({x}_{{2}},{y}_{{2}}\right)}}}[/tex] is given by [tex]\displaystyle{\large{{m}=\frac{{{y}_{{2}}-{y}_{{1}}}}{{{x}_{{2}}-{x}_{{1}}}}}}[/tex].
We have that [tex]x_1=3[/tex], [tex]y_1=10[/tex], [tex]x_2=1[/tex], [tex]y_2=17[/tex].
Plug the given values into the formula for slope: [tex]m=\frac{\left(17\right)-\left(10\right)}{\left(1\right)-\left(3\right)}=\frac{7}{-2}=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Answer: the slope of the line is [tex]m=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex].
Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{x_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 10 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 17 )
m = [tex]\frac{17-10}{1-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{-2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
