To find the slope of the line through the given points (7,3) and (4,9), we can use the slope formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Substituting the coordinates of the points, we have:
slope = (9 - 3) / (4 - 7)
Simplifying, we get:
slope = 6 / (-3)
The slope of the line is -2.
Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
