Q. What is the slope of the line through (6,9) (6,9) and (7,1) (7,1) ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 88\newline(B) 8-8\newline(C) 18 \frac{1}{8} \newline(D) 18 -\frac{1}{8}
  1. Identify slope formula: Identify the slope formula.\newlineThe slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by the formula:\newlineSlope = y2y1x2x1\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  2. Substitute given points: Substitute the given points into the slope formula.\newlineWe have the points (6,9)(6, 9) and (7,1)(7, 1), so x1=6x_1 = 6, y1=9y_1 = 9, x2=7x_2 = 7, and y2=1y_2 = 1.\newlineSlope = 1976\frac{1 - 9}{7 - 6}
  3. Calculate change in y: Calculate the change in y y2y1y_2 - y_1.\newlineChange in y = 19=81 - 9 = -8
  4. Calculate change in x: Calculate the change in x x2x1x_2 - x_1.\newlineChange in x = 76=17 - 6 = 1
  5. Calculate slope: Calculate the slope using the changes in yy and xx.Slope=81=8\text{Slope} = \frac{-8}{1} = -8
