Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 7) and (3, 4)?

Answer 1

The slope is -3/4x.

Explanation:

Slope =
`(y_(2) -y_1)/(x_(2) -x_1)`

`(4-7)/(3--1)`

`(4-7)/(3+1)`

`(-3)/(4)`

`-(3)/(4)`

Answer 2

-3/4

Explanation:

The formula for slope is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

4-7/3-(-1)

-3/4

Best of Luck!
