Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (4, -1)?

A) 3
B) -1
C) -5/7
C) 3/5

Answer 1

Slope Formula: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(-3, 4) and (4, -1)

-3 = x¹

4 = y¹

4 = x²

-1 = y²

-1 - 4 = -5

4 - - 3 = 7

4 - - 3 will become a positive because two positives equal a negative.

Your answer is C) -5/7.
