Slope = 4/7

Explanation:

Slope Formula = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
1st Point is (3, 5)
2nd Point is (-4, 1)

Slope = (1 - 5)/(-4 - 3) = -4/-7 = 4/7

"slope "=4/7

Explanation:

"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-4,1)

rArrm=(1-5)/(-4-3)=(-4)/(-7)=4/7
