Find the slope of the line that passes through (7, 9) and (3, 14).
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the given points (7, 9) and (3, 14):
slope = (14 - 9) / (3 - 7)
slope = 5 / -4
The slope of the line passing through (7, 9) and (3, 14) is therefore -5/4.
