Question

Which is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (4.-2)?

Answer 1

slope = -
`(3)/(7)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 2)

m =
`(-2-1)/(4+3)` =
`(-3)/(7)` = -
`(3)/(7)`

Answer 2

Slope = -3/7
