Slope = 4/747

Explanation:

Slope Formula = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)y2y1x2x1
1st Point is (3, 5)(3,5)
2nd Point is (-4, 1)(4,1)

Slope = (1 - 5)/(-4 - 3) = -4/-7 = 4/71543=47=47

"slope "=4/7slope =47

Explanation:

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

•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)xm=y2y1x2x1

"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-4,1)let (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(4,1)

rArrm=(1-5)/(-4-3)=(-4)/(-7)=4/7m=1543=47=47
