(10, 8)

Answer 1

To find the slope between the points $(5,1)$ and $(10,8)$, we can use the slope formula:

$$\text{slope}(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

Here, $(x_1,y_1)=(5,1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(10,8)$.

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

$$m=\frac{8-1}{10-5}=\frac{7}{5}$$

So, the slope between the points $(5,1)$ and $(10,8)$ is $\frac{7}{5}$.
