Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (4, 3) and (2, 7)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2 points on a line (x1, yx) and (x2,y2)

the formula for slope, m  = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

in this case,

x1 = 4, y1 = 3, x2 = 2, y2 = 7

Hence,

m  = (7-3) / (2-4) = 4 / -2 = -2

Answer 2

The slope of the line that contains the points (4, 3) and (2, 7) is -2.

How to estimate the slope of the line?

To estimate the slope of the line that has the points (4,3) and (2,7)

Slope formula = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

From the question, the points given are; (4,3) and (2,7)

So,  x₁ = 4, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 2 and y₂ = 7

Slope of the line = 7 - 3 /  2- 4

   = -2

The slope of the line is -2.

therefore, the correct answer is option D. -2.
