Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1, 7) and (10, 1)

Slope (m) = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

Here, (x1, y1) is the first point (1, 7) and (x2, y2) is the second point (10, 1).

• Substituting the values into the formula:
• m = (1 – 7) / (10 – 1)
• m = (-6) / (9)
• m = -2/3

Thus, the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 7) and (10, 1) is -2/3.
