Question

What slope passes through the points (2,7) and (-1,4) ?

A. -1
B. 1
C. 3

Answer 1

1

Option B is the right option.

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(2,7)---->(X1,y1)

B(-1,4)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

`slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) \\ \: \: \: \: \: = (4 - 7)/( - 1 - 2) \\ \: \: \: \: \: = ( - 3)/( - 3) \\ \: \: \: \: = 1`

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
