To find the slope of the line passing through two points, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can use the formula:
[ \text{Slope} = \frac{y₂ - y₁}{x₂ - x₁} ]
Substituting the given points, (2, -7) and (4, 1), into the formula:
[ \text{Slope} = \frac{1 - (-7)}{4 - 2} ]
[ \text{Slope} = \frac{1 + 7}{4 - 2} ]
[ \text{Slope} = \frac{8}{2} ]
[ \text{Slope} = 4 ]
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (2, -7) and (4, 1) is 4.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
