Question

( Help please due 10 mins ) find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,3) and (2,7)

Answer 1

The 2 points on the line given are:

`\begin{gathered} (a,b_{})=(4,3) \\ \text{and} \\ (c,d)=(2,7) \end{gathered}`

The slope formula can be used to find the slope. We can write the slope formula as:

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

Substituting the values, we get the slope of the line:

`\begin{gathered} m=(7-3)/(2-4) \\ m=(4)/(-2) \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}`
