The slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 3) and (4, -7) can be found using the slope formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Substituting the coordinates of the given points, we have:
m = (-7 - 3)/(4 - (-1))
m = (-7 - 3)/(4 + 1)
m = (-10)/(5)
m = -2
Therefore, the slope of the line is -2 or negative 2.
What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−1, 3) and (4, −7)?
