Answer 1

The slope of the line joining the points (1,1) and (7,5) is 2/3

Here, we want to find the slope of the line that passes through these two points

To get this, we use the equation of the slope

This is;

$m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the question;

$\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)\text{ = (1,1)} \\ (x_2,y_2)\text{ = (7,5)} \end{gathered}$

Substituting these values, we have;

$m\text{ = }\frac{5-1}{7-1}\text{ = }\frac{4}{6}=\text{ }\frac{2}{3}$
