Find the slope of the line that passes through (3,7)
and (7, 1). Simplify your answer and write it as an
improper fraction, proper fraction or an integer.
As we move from (3, 7) to (7, 1), x (the "run") increases by 4 and y (the "rise") decreases by 6. Thus, the slope of the line passing thru these two points is
