Question

(with explanation so i can understand please)

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (−7, 3) and (−4, 2)?

−5
−3
one third
negative one third

Answer 1

1/3 is the slope, i showed my work in the photo below

Answer 2

Hello !

Answer:

`\Large\boxed{\sf m=-(1)/(3) }`

Explanation:

The slope of a line that passes through two points is given by the following formula :

`\sf m=(y_B-y_A)/(x_B-x_A)`

Where
`\sf A(x_A,y_A)` and
`\sf B(x_B,y_B)`.

Given :

• A(-7,3)
• B(-4,2)

Let's calculate the slope with the previous formula :

`\sf m=(2-3)/(-4-(-7)) \\\boxed{\sf m=-(1)/(3) }`

Have a nice day ;)
