To find the slope of the line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1),
where (x1, y1) = (10, 8) and (x2, y2) = (1, 12).
Substituting the values, we get:
m = (12 - 8) / (1 - 10)
Simplifying further, we have:
m = 4 / (-9)
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (10, 8) and (1, 12) is -4/9.
