To find slope, use the formula:

(y2-y1)/x2-x1)

So here is what it will look like:

(9--7)/(1--3)

Since you are subtracting a negative, then it turns unto a positive so you are adding the numbers together.  

(9+7)/1+3)

16/4

4

The slope of the line is 4/1 or 4.  Which means that you will go up or "rise" 4 and go to the left or "run" 1.


Hope this helps!
