Medal for help. What is the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, 3) and (4, –7)?

Answer 1

-2

Answer 2

Have you seen and used the slope formula before? if so, please type it out here.

Answer 3

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 4

Thanks guys

Answer 5

The answer's just for checking purpose - you should know how to use the formula (as @mathmale has stated)

Answer 6

use slope formula:
\[m= slope\]
so, m= y (sub 2) - y (sub 1) / x (sub 2) - x (sub 1)

now let's substitute:

m= 3-(7)/ -1-4

then simplify.....

Answer 7

@FOXSHADOW : Slight typo in your post above - it should be 3-(-7), not 3-(7) ...
