Question

A line goes through the points (7,8) and (3, 10). What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

$slope = m = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$slope = m = \dfrac{10 - 8}{3 - 7}$

$slope = m = \dfrac{2}{-4}$

$slope = m = -\dfrac{1}{2}$
