What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: # (-7, -4) ,(-3,2)#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Ujjwal Mar 12, 2018 #m=3/2# Explanation: #m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# Here , #x_1=-7# #x_2=-3# #y_1=-4# #y_2=2# #=> m=(2-(-4))/(-3-(-7))# #=> m=(2+4)/(-3+7)# #=> m=6/4# #=> m=3/2# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
