Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (4, 1) and (7, -2)?

Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{(-2)-1=-3}{7-4=3}=\frac{-3/3}{3/3}=-1$

So therefore, the slope is -1.

Answer is -1.

The answer must have a negative sign.

Hope this helps! :)

Thank you!

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine slope from two points is y2-y1 over x2 - x1.

y2

-2 - 1 = -3

7 - 4 = 3

-3/-3

m = -1

Answer: m = -1
