What is the slope of the line through (6, 9) and (7, 1)
a. -1/8
b. 8
c. -8
d. 1/8

Slope is  -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, welcome to !

I'll begin with the basics of slope, just to help you get the gist of this crucial concept -

Slope can be rewritten as rise/run, although written formally as :

when we are given two coordinates (x,y) on the line.

One important thing to note is that slope belongs to a general equation,

y = mx+b

where b represents the y intercept and m is slope.

We're given two coordinates in your question: (6,9) and (7,1):

m = -8 is the final answer.

I hope this helps! By the way, slope is a concept that will follow you to calculus and physics, so I urge you to practice!

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
