Answer:

-1/3

Explanation:

Work from left to right.
Find the first point, work your way down to the next.
For this question, you would be going down one, over three until you get to the next point.
Down one, right three = -1/3
Now you have your slope.

Answer:

-1/3

Explanation:

slope = change in y / change in x

point 1 = (4, 7)

point 2 = (7, 6)

slope = (6 - 7)/(7-4) = (-1/3)

slope= -1/3
