Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

1

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula.

m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1

SubstitutePoints

Substitute ( 7,3) & ( 5,1)

m=1- 3/5- 7

Subtract terms

m=-2/-2

Calculate quotient

m=1

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is 1.
