Question

find the slope of a line that runs through points (1,-7) and (-4,-3)

Answer 1

To find the slope between these two points, we can use the slope formula.

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

-3 + 7 / -4 - 1

4 / -5

-4/5

The slope of the line between these two points is -4/5. (This is your answer.)
