Answer 1

let's find the slope of the line passing through given points :

• $\mathrm{ \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

• $\mathrm{ \dfrac{8 - 7}{1 - 4} }$

• $- \dfrac{1}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution given:

$(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(4,7)$

now

slope [m]=$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{7-8}{4-1}=\frac{-1}{3}=-⅓$
