Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (4, 1) and (7, -2)?

A. -1
B. -1/3
C. 1/3
D. 1

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

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

So therefore, the slope is -1.

Answer is -1.

The answer must have a negative sign.

Hope this helps! :)

Thank you!

Answer 2

m = -1

Explanation:

The formula to determine slope from two points is y2-y1 over x2 - x1.

y2

-2 - 1 = -3

7 - 4 = 3

-3/-3

m = -1

Answer: m = -1
