Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, –7) and (–4, 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{ - 5}{2}$

ANSWER B IS CORRECT.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} \\ \frac{ - 7 - 3}{ 0 - 4} \\ = \frac{ -10}{2} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer: $-5/2$

Find the slope between your two points

$(x_{1} ,y_{1} )=(0,-7)$

$(y_{2} ,y_{2})=(-4,3)$

Use the slope formula

$m=y_{2}-y_{1} /x_{2}-x_{1}$

$3--7/-4-0$

$10/-4$

$-5/2$
