Question

Find a slope of a line that passes through (2,4) and (1,7)

Answer 1

- 3

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)\\`

From the question we have

`m = (7 - 4)/(1 - 2) = - (3)/(1) = - 3 \\`

We have the final answer as

- 3
