Find the slope of the line through the points (4, 7) and (3, 7).
📘 Worked solution
1m = (7 - 7) / (3 - 4)Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x between the two points.
2m = 0 / −1Subtract: 7 - 7 = 0, and 3 - 4 = -1.
3m = 0Reduce the fraction, if possible, to write the slope in lowest terms.
