Question 735259
.
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (4, 1).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
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  {{{(dy)/(dx)}}} = {{{(-3)/7}}} = {{{-3/7}}}.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
