Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 2) and (8, 7).Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
PLZ PLZ PLZ HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWERS!!!!!! THANK YOU!!
Slope = rise/run = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2) = (2-7) / (10-8) = (-5)/2 = -5/2
Slope
Subtract the y coordinates in some order
7 - 2 = 5 (1)
Subtract the x coordinates in the same order
8 - 10 = -2 (2)
Put (1) over (2)
5 / - 2 =
-5 / 2
