The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Here, (x1, y1) = (8, 8) and (x2, y2) = (1, 17)

So, the slope = (17 - 8) / (1 - 8) = 9 / -7 = -9/7

So, the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 8) and (1, 17) is -9/7.

Question

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Here, (x1, y1) = (8, 8) and (x2, y2) = (1, 17)

So, the slope = (17 - 8) / (1 - 8) = 9 / -7 = -9/7

So, the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 8) and (1, 17) is -9/7.
