Step 1

Given;


\begin{gathered} \text{Two points;} \\ (1,2) \\ (-3,-4) \\ \text{where } \\ x_1=1 \\ x_2=-3 \\ y_1=2 \\ y_2=-4 \end{gathered}

Required; To find the slope

Step 2

State the formula for the slope of a line and find the slope on the line in question 7


\begin{gathered} m=\text{ }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(-4-2)/(-3-1)=(-6)/(-4)=(3)/(2) \end{gathered}

Hence, the slope of the line = 3/2
