Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 16) and (9, 7). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

The slope of the line is .

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope of the line:

Therefore the slope of the line is .

you need a common difference between consecutive terms to be constant, like 1,2,3,4 or 2,4,6,8, or 1,3,6,9
