Answer: C) 1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the Slope
(−7, 0) , (0, 1)
Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.
change in y
m = _________
change in x
The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y
is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).
[tex]y_2 -y_1[/tex]
m = ______
[tex]x_2 - x_1[/tex]
Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.
1 − (0)
m = ______
0 − (−7)
Simplify the numerator.
1
m = ______
0 − (−7)
Simplify the denominator.
Multiply −1 by −7.
1

0 + 7
Add 0 and 7.
1
m = ___
7
