  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (3, 7)

Point (9, 5)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                            [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{5-7}{9-3}[/tex]
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                          [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-2}{6}[/tex]
  3. [Fraction] Simplify:                                                                                          [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]
