What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-1,3)?
A ) 2/7
B ) 3/4
C ) 4/3
D ) 1/3
The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the values of the given points (2,7) and (-1,3):
m = (3 - 7) / (-1 - 2)
m = -4 / -3
m = 4/3
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (2,7) and (-1,3) is 4/3. The correct answer is:
C) 4/3
