Question

the coordinates of two points on a line are (-3,7) and (1,0). Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The slope is -7/4

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The slope formula is as follows

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Replacing the points (-3,7) and (1,0):

$m=\frac{0-7}{1-(-3)}=\frac{-7}{1+3}=-\frac{7}{4}$
