Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(1, 7), (10, 1)

Use the Rise and Run method.

To find the Rise, you simply count up or down the y-axis until you reach the second point's y-axis.

To find the Run, count right or left on the x-axis until you reach the second point's x-axis.

So, for this, you would start at (1,7) and count down to 1 for the Rise, and count right to 10 for the Run. Then, you would get this:

Rise = -6

Run = 9

Now, divide Rise by Run

-6/9 = -0.66, which is approximately -0.7 if you round it to the nearest tenth.

Please remember this so you don't have to use your points for things similar to this! I hope you have a nice day!
