Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `( 7,-2 ) ,(4,-3)`?

Answer 1

Slope is `\frac{1}{3}`

Explanation:

Formula for finding the slope (represented by variable `m`).

`m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}`

`m = \frac{-3 + 2}{4 - 7}`

`m = \frac{-1}{-3}`

`m = \frac{1}{3}`
