Question

distance, midpoint, and slope formula practice
find the slope (m) of the line through each pair of points. write your answer as a simplified fracti
(2,1), (15,10)
m =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope formula between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$.

Step2: Identify the points

Here $x_1 = 2,y_1=1,x_2 = 15,y_2 = 10$.

Step3: Substitute values

$m=\frac{10 - 1}{15 - 2}=\frac{9}{13}$.

Answer:

$\frac{9}{13}$
