Question

What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

m = (7/4)

»»————-　★　————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{The slope formula is rise over run.}}\\\\m=\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}\\\\m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\-------------\\(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) \text{ are two points that are on the line.}$

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The line passes through the points (3,4) and (-1, -3).

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Calculating the Slope:}}\\\\\rightarrow m = \frac{-3-4}{-1-3}\\\\\rightarrow m=\frac{-7}{-4}\\\\\rightarrow m=\boxed{\frac{7}{4}}$

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
