Given:
(4, 3)
(9, 7)
x1 = 4
x2 = 3
y1= 9
y2 = 7
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (7 - 9)/(3 - 4)
m = (-2)/(-1)
m = 2/1
m = 2
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 2
