Question

The coordinates of two points on a line are (-4, 0) and (3, -1). How do you find the slope of the line?

Answer 1

`m=-1/7`

Explanation:

Use the slope formula `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, where `m` is the slope, `(x_1,y_1)` is one point, and `(x_2,y_2)` is the other point.

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Substitute the given values into the equation.

`m=(-1-0)/(3-(-4))=(-1)/7`

`m=-1/7`
