Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, 2) and (8, 3).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), is given by the formula
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
In this case, the two points are (1, 2) and (8, 3). Substituting these values into the slope formula, we have
m = (3 - 2) / (8 - 1) = 1 / 7.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1, 2) and (8, 3) is 1/7.
