1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the slope of the line passing through the points (3,4) and (4,2).

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the slope mm of a line passing through two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by:
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
In this case, (x1,y1)=(3,4)(x_1, y_1) = (3, 4) and (x2,y2)=(4,2)(x_2, y_2) = (4, 2). Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get:
m=2443m = \frac{2 - 4}{4 - 3}
m=21m = \frac{-2}{1}
m=2m = -2

3. Final Answer

The slope of the line passing through the points (3,4) and (4,2) is -
