Question

A line is drawn so that it passes through the points

(3, 4) and (4, 1)

What is the slope of the line?

3

-3

1/3

-1/3

Answer 1

m= -3

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(3,\:4\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:1\right)\\\\m=(1-4)/(4-3)\\\\m = (-3)/(1) \\\\Simplify\\m=-3`
