Answer
Slope = -7
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the slope of a line passing through the points (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) is expressed as;
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Given the coordinate points (1, 4) and (2, -3)
Substitute the given coordinates into the formula above to get the slope
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-3-4}{2-1} \\ m=-\frac{7}{1} \\ m=-7 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the slope of the line passing through the given points is -7
