Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (2, 6), (7, 0).
Solution:
From the question it is given that pair of points. (2, 6), (7, 0).
The slope of the line that passes Through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
So, (x1, y1) = (2, 6) and (x2, y2) = (7, 0)
Now, Substitute (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) with their given values, we get,
m = (0 - 6) / (7 - 2)
By further calculation
m = (-6) / (5)
m = -6/5
Therefore, the slope of the line is -6/5.
Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. (2, 6), (7, 0).
Summary:
The slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2, 6), (7, 0) is -6/5.
