Question

What is the slope of a line containing points G(-3, 7) and H(4, -2)?

Answer 1

`\bf G(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad H(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{7}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{-9}{4+3}\implies -\cfrac{9}{7}`
