Question

( Help please due 10 mins ) find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,3) and (2,7)

Answer 1

The 2 points on the line given are:

$\begin{gathered} (a,b_{})=(4,3) \\ \text{and} \\ (c,d)=(2,7) \end{gathered}$

The slope formula can be used to find the slope. We can write the slope formula as:

$m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

Substituting the values, we get the slope of the line:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7-3}{2-4} \\ m=\frac{4}{-2} \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}$
