Question

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

A) 4/3
B) 3/4 (wrong)
C) -3/4
D) -4 (Wrong)

Answer 1

The answer is option C

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

We have

`m = (4 - 7)/(3 - - 1) = ( - 3)/(3 + 1) = - (3)/(4) \\`

We have the final answer as

`- (3)/(4) \\`

Hope this helps you
