Answer:
m = - 2/3 or
m = - 0.66667.
I don't know which form is simpler.
Step-by-step explanation:
All you want is the slope.
The slope formula is
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
y2 = 7
y1 = 3
x2 = - 2
x1 = 4
My choice of which one is 1 and which one is 2 is totally arbitrary. You could have made y2 = 3 and y1 = 7 and x2 = 4 and x1 = -2
m = (7 - 3) / (-2 - 4)
m = 4 / - 6
m = -2/3 or
m = - 0.6667
