Thanks guys

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

anonymous · Answer

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.....

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