A line intersects the points (4, 11) and (-3, 7).
Find the slope of the line and simplify completely.
Slope =

Although finding the slope might be intimidating, it's not too bad once you get the gist of it.

If you've been finding the slope by plotting the points this whole time, fear not; slope equation to the rescue!

There's an equation you can use in order to find the slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In this scenario, the second y-coordinate is 7, and the first y-coordinate is 11, and so on. (Does that sort of make sense? If you want me to elaborate on this, just ask)

Input the numbers from the two points:
(7 - 11) / (-3 - 4) = -4 / -7

We can simplify the negatives on both sides out by multiplying both sides by -1.

-4 / -7 = 4 / 7

The slope of the line is 4 / 7.
