Question

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

​ 35 ​

​−1​

​−57 ​

3

Answer 1

the answer is C. -5/7

Answer 2

Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

`m= (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is

`m= (-1-4)/(4-(-3)) = (-5)/(7)`

Answer:
`- (5)/(7)`
