Question

Points X, Y, and Z are colinear. X What is the slope of YZ in simplest form?

Answer 1

Based on the calculations, the slope of line YZ in simplest form is equal to 2.

How to determine the slope of YZ?

Mathematically, the slope of a straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

$Slope, m = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope, m = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}$

Since points X, Y, and Z are collinear, we can deduce that the line passes through line Z at 6 units form the origin and 3 units for Y from the origin.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

$Slope, m = \frac{6\;-\;0}{3\;-\;0}$

Slope, m = 6/3

Slope, m = 2.
