Question

a line intersects the points \\((4, 3)\\) and \\((11, -4)\\).

what is the slope of this line in simplest form?

\\(m = ? \\)

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

Using the Slope Calculation knowledge point

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (4, 3),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (11, -4) $$

Calculate the slope

Using the Slope Calculation knowledge point

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-4 - 3}{11 - 4} = \frac{-7}{7} = -1 $$

Answer:

A line intersects the points \((4, 3)\) and \((11, -4)\).
