Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (4,3) and (2,7)

Answer 1

The answer is m= -2

Answer 2

Answer:

The Slope of the line is -2

   

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line that contains the points (4,3)  and (2,7)

We will follow the steps below;

First, we need to write down the formula for finding slope

Slope = y₂ - y₁  /  x₂ -  x₁

From the question, the points given are;   (4,3)  and (2,7)

So,    x₁  =  4           y₁  = 3                   x₂  = 2                 y₂  = 7

Slope = 7 - 3   /    2- 4

         = $\frac{4}{-2}$

        = -2

The Slope of the line is -2
