Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points

The given points are \((x_1, y_1) = (10, 7)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 8)\).

Step 2: Apply the slope formula

The slope \(m\) of the line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula: \[m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get: \[m = \frac{8 - 7}{1 - 10} = -0\]

Final Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points \((10, 7)\) and \((1, 8)\) is -0.

How does the azole drug fluconazole damage yeast? Why does this drug not target human cells? Fluconazole targets ergosterol within the fungal cell membrane, but does not target human cells because human cells do not have ergosterol.

Identify the author's purpose Read the text. I was very concerned by the school board's recent announcement that lunch breaks will be shortened next year. This may seem like a good idea now, but in the long run it will only hurt students. The current lunch break gives students a chance to exercise and breathe fresh air. More importantly, it lets them take a break from their hard work. Shorter lunches don't give students enough time for a real break. For the sake of all students, contact the school board today and let them know that breaks matter! Which author's purpose is suggested by the text? to persuade readers to speak out against shorter lunch breaks to inform readers about why lunch breaks are being shortened to describe how students feel about shorter lunch breaks

Blake enters data for weight (in hundreds of pounds) and miles per gallon of cars into a statistics software package and finds a regression equation of y-hat = 38.5 - 1.4x, where weight is the explanatory variable. Based on this information, select Blake's conclusion about weight and miles per gallon that is TRUE. a.) For each additional 100 pounds of weight, miles per gallon decreases by 38.5 miles. b.) For each additional 100 pounds of weight, miles per gallon increases by 1.4 miles. c.) For each additional 100 pounds of weight, miles per gallon decreases by 1.4 miles. d.) For each additional 100 pounds of weight, miles per gallon stays relatively the same.
