Verified Answer :

using y1-y2 divided by x1-x2, 25-3=22 and 10-1=9 22/9 can be written as a mixed number (2 4/9) kept the same or written as a decimal, (2.4).

Answer:

slope of a trend line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (10, 25) is  \(\frac{22}{9}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of slope(m) for two points is given by:

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

Given the two points:

\((1,3)\) and \((10, 25)\)

Substitute these points in the given formula we have;

\(m = \frac{25-3}{10-1}\)

Simplify:

\(m = \frac{22}{9}\)

Therefore, the slope of a trend line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (10, 25) is  \(\frac{22}{9}\)
