Question

What is the slope of the line through (3,7) and (-1,4)

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

Use the formula rise/run. But first, if you plot this on a graph, (-1,4) will come first because its x value is smaller. So, for this, let's look at (-1,4) first.

To get from -1 to 3, you must rise 4 units. To get from 4 to 7, you must run 3 units.

So, if you put this together, you will get 4/3!

Hope I helped!!!!

Answer 2

`m=(3)/(4)`

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (3, 7)

Point (-1, 4)

Step 2: Solve for slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(4-7)/(-1-3)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(-3)/(-4)`
3. Simplify:
   `m=(3)/(4)`
