Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points (7,8) and ( 3,4)

Answer 1

The given points are (7, 8) and (3, 4).

Here, x₁ =7, y₁ = 8, x₂ = 3 and y₂ = 4
$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{4-8}{3-7} \\ =\frac{-4}{-4} \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$
