$The slope of the given line is$ $"The slope of the given line is"$ $- 6$ $-6$

$color(blue)("Slope(m)"=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

$"Note:"Delta$ $"means,"$ $color(orange)("change in"$

$"Now,substitute the values"$

$color(violet)((4,1)=(x_1,y_1)$

$color(violet)((3,7)=(x_2,y_2)$

$:.$ $"Slope"$ $=(7-1)/(3-4)$

$rarr6/(-1)$

$color(green)(rArr-6$
