Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (3, -7) and (-1, 1)?

Answer 1

Use:\[\frac{ y _{1} - y _{2} }{ x _{1} - x _{2} } = m\] "m" is the slope and your two points are in the form (x, y).

Answer 2

The first point you can call (x1, y1) which is (3, -7) and the second point is (x2, y2) which is (-1, 1). Just substitute.
