Point v is located at (1, 2) and point w is located at (7, -4). find the slope of line segment vw. plz hurry

slope = - 1

to calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ )/(x₂ - x₁ )

where (x₁, y₁) =(1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) =(7, - 4)

m = = = - 1

answer: i think it is (1,-2)

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5
