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

Answer:

m= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

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