#"The slope of the given line is"# #-6#

#color(blue)("Slope(m)"=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

#"Note:"Delta# #"means,"# #color(orange)("change in" #

#"Now,substitute the values"#

#color(violet)((4,1)=(x_1,y_1)#

#color(violet)((3,7)=(x_2,y_2)#

#:.# #"Slope"# #=(7-1)/(3-4)#

#rarr6/(-1)#

#color(green)(rArr-6#
