Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 4) and (2, 1).

Option A: 1

Option B:- 1

Option C: 3/5

Option D: -5/3

Answer 1

Find Slope.
(3, 4) and (2, 1)
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

\[slope = \frac{ y2 - y1 }{ x2 - x1 }\]
\[slope = \frac{ 1 - 4 }{ 2 - 3 } = \frac{ -3 }{ -1 } = 3\]

You have a slope of 3.
