Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 7) and (2, 2).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Let's denote the coordinates of the first point as (x1, y1) = (8, 7), and the coordinates of the second point as (x2, y2) = (2, 2).
change in y = y2 - y1 = 2 - 7 = -5
change in x = x2 - x1 = 2 - 8 = -6
slope = (-5) / (-6) = 5/6
So, the slope of the line passing through (8, 7) and (2, 2) is 5/6.
