Question

Find the slope of the line of (4,3) (1,-4)

Answer 1

Answer: -7/-3.

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,3) and (1,-4).

Using our slope formula, we take the second y minus the first y which in this case is -4 - 3 over our second x minus our first x which in this case is 1 - 4.

-4 - 3 is -7 and 1 - 4 is -3.

So the slope of this line is -7/-3.

Answer 2

Answer:

-7/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is represented as m

m = Rise/Run =( Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

m =  (-4  -3) / (1 - 4)

m = -7 / -3

The negative sign (minus) will cancel out

Therefore,

m = 7 / 3

m = 2 whole number, 1/3
