Question

find the slope of the line joining two points (3, 0) and (0, 7).

-7/3
3/7

Explanation:

Identify the given coordinates

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (3, 0),\quad (x_2, y_2) = (0, 7) $$

Apply the slope formula

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$

Calculate the slope value

$$ m = \frac{7 - 0}{0 - 3} = \frac{7}{-3} = -\frac{7}{3} $$

Answer:

• (A) \(-7/3\) (Correct answer)
• (B) \(3/7\)
