What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-1,3)?
1. 2/7
2. 3/4
3. 4/3****
4. 1/3
The chosen answer is correct.
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the two points are (2,7) and (-1,3). Let's label them as (x1, y1) = (2,7) and (x2, y2) = (-1,3).
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (3 - 7) / (-1 - 2)
slope = (-4) / (-3)
slope = 4/3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-1,3) is 4/3.
