The slope of the line that passes through the point (17,20) and (1,-8) is Make sure your answer is a FRACTION!!

y = m x + b      standard form of equation for straight line\

        m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (20 - -8) / 17 - 1) = 28 / 16

        m = 7 / 4

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

step-by-step explanation:
