Question

What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 7) and (2, 3)?

2
−2
3
−5

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

the formula to find slope when given two points is: y2-y1/x2-x1

so, y2=3 and y1=7

and, x2=2 and x1=4

3-7/2-4 which equals: -4/-2

then simplify. since two negatives make a positive, your answer will be;

2

Answer 2

2

Slope is found by change in y over change in x. Therefore:

(7-3)/(4-2) is the slope. This simplifies to 2, which is the slope.
