What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 7) and (4, - 1)?

-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, use the slope formula

Every x and y with the subscript 1 is taking values from the first point, and every x and y with subscript 2 is taking values from the second point.

Plug in the values from the points (-1, 7) and (4, -1) to get the equation , which simplifies to  , which is the answer.

Hey there! :)

To find the slope when you have 2 points, you must remember this formula:

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
