Question

A line passes through the points (-3,7) and (4,-2). Use this information for questions 1 through 3. Find the slope of the line. Show your work.​

Answer 1

Slope = -9/7

Explanation:

Slope:

(-3 , 7) ⇒ x₁= -3 & y₁ = 7

(4 , -2) ⇒ x₂ = 4 & y₂ = -2

`\sf \boxed{Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

`\sf = (-2-7)/(4-[-3])\\\\=(-9)/(4+3)\\\\=(-9)/(7)`
