Question

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

Answer 1

Slope is `-3/5`

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing through `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is given by `(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Hence, slope of a line passing through `(3,4)` and `(-2,7)` is given by `(7-4)/(-2-3)` or `-3/5`
