Answer:

Slope = -4/7

Explanation:

The slope of a line is determined by the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where m is the slope of the line, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line. Plugging in the values from the given points, we get:

m = (7 - 3) / (1 - 8) = 4 / -7 = -4/7

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through (8,3) and (1,7) is -4/7.
