Answer:
As improper fraction [tex]m=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
As mixed number [tex]m=1\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
we have
(7, 10) and (2, 4).
substitute the values
[tex]m=\frac{4-10}{2-7}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-6}{-5}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{6}{5}[/tex] ----> improper fraction
Remember that an improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator
Convert to mixed number
[tex]m=\frac{6}{5}=\frac{5}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=1\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ----> mixed number
