Answer 2

This would get a better answer if you post it in the MATH SECTION :)

Answer 3

slope is the change in y/ corresponding change in x
for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
slope,m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
for this problem one set of values (x1, y1) and the other (x2, y2)
be consistent and substitute

Answer 4

m =( -7 -3)/(4 - -1) = -10/5 = -2 so D
