and yes i know not to give direct answers

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

i dont now how 2 start it and its hard 2 understand

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

ok do u know which numbers are x and y

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

the slope formula is \[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

ur x1 is -1 and ur y1 is 3

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

so is the answer going 2 be a fraction

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

u set it up like this \[m=\frac{ -7-3 }{ 4-(-1) }\]

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

do u get it

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

i got -10/5
