Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

You want to know the slope of the line through points (10, 4) and (7, 3).

Slope formula

The slope of the line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Application

For the given points, the slope is ...

m = (3 -4)/(7 -10) = -1/-3 = 1/3

The slope of the line is 1/3.
