Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (4, 1).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine that you move from point (-3,4) to point (4,1) in a coordinate plane.
The increment in y is dy = 1 - 4 = -3,
the increment in x is dx = 4 - (-3) = 7.
The slope is the ratio = = . ANSWER
Solved.
Ignore the post by @lynnlo, since everything is wrong there.
