A line contains the points (-3, -7) and (1,5).
What is the slope of the line
The formula to calculate the slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the given points (-3, -7) and (1, 5):
Slope = (5 - (-7)) / (1 - (-3))
Slope = (5 + 7) / (1 + 3)
Slope = 12 / 4
Slope = 3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, -7) and (1, 5) is 3.
