Answer:
77/36
Step-by-step explanation:
Key skills needed: Slope formula
1) You need to use the slope formula in order to solve this equation. The slope formula is:
Given 2 points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](y_2, y_1)[/tex], the way to find slope is: [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
2) Using this, we can find the slope.
- 98 is [tex]x_1[/tex]
- 27 is [tex]y_1[/tex]
- 62 is [tex]x_2[/tex]
- -50 is [tex]y_2[/tex]
We would do --> [tex]\frac{-50-27}{62-98}[/tex] which simplifies into [tex]\frac{-77}{-36}[/tex] which is [tex]\frac{77}{36}[/tex] (cancel out the negatives and you will get that) [tex]\frac{77}{36}[/tex] is the answer.
