Question 658977: Professor I'm stuck on a slope problem. The problem is I do not know how to send you the graph. It says find the slope of the line. There's no points given. The choices are (A) -4/3 (B) -3/4 (C) 4/3 (D) 3/4
The points I see where the line crosses looks like (1,0) and (0,1) hopefully you can help me. Thank you!!

Note:

is the first point

. So this means that and .
Also,

is the second point

. So this means that and .

Start with the slope formula.

Plug in , , , and

Subtract from to get

Subtract from to get

Reduce

So the slope of the line that goes through the points

and

is

So there's either a typo in the answer choices or the two points are something other than (1,0) and (0,1). Double check both.
