$\frac{6}{11}$ $6/11$

Slope $m$ $m$ of a line passing through two points $A (x_{1}, y_{1})$ $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B (x_{2}, y_{2})$ $B(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

Here let $A = (2, 7) and B = (- 9, 1)$ $A=(2,7) and B=(-9,1)$

$\Rightarrow m = \frac{1 - 7}{- 9 - 2} = \frac{- 6}{- 11} = \frac{6}{11}$ $implies m=(1-7)/(-9-2)=(-6)/-11=6/11$

$\Rightarrow$ $implies$ slope of the line passing through the given points is $\frac{6}{11}$ $6/11$ .

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (2,7) , (-9,1)(2,7),(−9,1)(2,7) , (-9,1)?
