Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
(7,3) and (4,9)
What is the slope of the line? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
The slope of the line is [ ]. (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
The slope of the line is undefined.
To find the slope of the line through the given points (7,3) and (4,9), we can use the slope formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Substituting the coordinates of the points, we have:
slope = (9 - 3) / (4 - 7)
Simplifying, we get:
slope = 6 / (-3)
The slope of the line is -2.
