find the slope of the line that passes through ( 10,8) and ( 1,13) simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Respuesta :

To find the slope it is necessary to use the equation:

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Given the points, use them to find the slope

y2=8 x2=10

y1=13 x1=1

[tex]m=\frac{8-13}{10-1}=-\frac{5}{9}[/tex]

The slope is -5/9
