We can find the slope of a line that passes through the points ( x1,y1) and (x2,y2) by means of the following formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]Replacing the x and y-values of the given points (10, 4) and (7,3) into the above equation, we get:
[tex]m=\frac{3-4}{7-10}=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Then, the slope of the line that passes through the points (10, 4) and (7,3) equals 1/3
