Question

I need your help! How exactly would do this?

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

o 2/7
o 3/4
o 4/3
o 1/3

Answer 1

\[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

Answer 2

So, it would be:

m = 3 - 7 over -1 - 2

m = -4 over -3

It's negative though. How would it turn positive?

Answer 3

Yup...

Answer 4

What would make it turn positive?

Answer 5

\[\frac{-1}{-1}=1\]

Answer 6

Oh okay, I forgot about that. Thank you very much! :)
