What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 7) and (2, 3)?

Parth (parthkohli):

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow Slope = \Large{\Delta y \over \Delta x} = {y_2 - y_1 \over x_2 - x_1} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3?

Parth (parthkohli):

-2/-2

Parth (parthkohli):

I find that to be 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh... thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but wouldnt it just be -2 then?

Parth (parthkohli):

Wait, it'd be 2.

Parth (parthkohli):

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \large{3 - 7 \over2 - 4} }\) \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \large{-4 \over -2} }\) \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 2 }\)

okay that makes sense now thanks :3

Parth (parthkohli):
