Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 7) and (–1, 3)? (1 point)

Answer 1

y2 - y1
m = ------
x2 - x1

Answer 2

So plug in the values:
y2 = 3
y1 = -1
x2 = 7
x1 = 2

Answer 3

the first equation is to find the slope.

So:

y2 - y1 3 - (-1) 4
m = ------ = ------- = --
x2 - x1 7 - 2 5

m = 4/5
So the slope the line is 4/5.
