To solve for slope. Remember that slope, m= (change in y)-(change in x). So that means m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Putting in the values we get (1--7)=(1+7)/(-1-3)= (8)/(-4)= -2. So m, or slope is -2.

Answer:

Slope of line passing through (3,-7) and (-1,1) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is given by [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here points are given by (3,-7) and (-1,1)

So we have (x₁,y₁) = (3,-7) and (x₂,y₂) = (-1,1)

Slope [tex]=\frac{1-(-7)}{(-1)-3}=\frac{8}{-4} =-2[/tex]

Slope of line passing through (3,-7) and (-1,1) = -2
