Question

Find the slope of the line through the given points . If the slope of the line is unrefined, state so(7,4) and (3,6)

Answer 1

Given the following question:

Point A = (7, 4) = (x1, y1)

Point B = (3, 6) = (x2, y2)

To find the slope use rise over run:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ \frac{6-4}{3-7} \\ 6-2=2 \\ 3-7=-4 \\ \frac{2}{-4} \\ \frac{2}{-4}=-0.5 \\ m=-0.5 \end{gathered}$

m = -0.5
