Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

m = (7/4)

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{The slope formula is rise over run.}}\\\\m=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}\\\\m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\-------------\\(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) \text{ are two points that are on the line.}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The line passes through the points (3,4) and (-1, -3).

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Calculating the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m = (-3-4)/(-1-3)\\\\\rightarrow m=(-7)/(-4)\\\\\rightarrow m=\boxed{(7)/(4)}`

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
