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)
Plugging in the given points, we have:
slope = (2 - 8) / (2 - 7)
= -6 / -5
= 6/5
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (7, 8) and (2, 2) is 6/5.
Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 8) and (2, 2).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
