Question

What slope passes through the points (2,7) and (-1,4) ? A. -1 B. 1 C. 3

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Option B is the right option.

Solution,

Let the points be A and B

A(2,7)---->(X1,y1)

B(-1,4)---->(x2,y2)

Now,

$slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{4 - 7}{ - 1 - 2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ - 3}{ - 3} \\ \: \: \: \: = 1$

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..
