Question

lets see what happens if we have point bs y - value minus point as y - value in the numerator, and point as x - value minus point bs x - value in the denominator. the denominator shows point as x - value minus point bs x - value. what is 3 - 7?
slope = \frac{vertical\\ distance}{horizontal\\ distance}
= \frac{5 - 2}{3 - 7}
= \frac{3}{\square}

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate denominator value

$3 - 7 = -4$

Step2: Substitute into slope formula

$\text{Slope} = \frac{5-2}{3-7} = \frac{3}{-4}$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{-4}}$ (or $-\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{4}}$)
