Question

What is the slope of the line through (3,2) and (-3,4)?

Answer 1

$\small\mathbb\green{slope=M= \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{4 - ( - 2)}{3 - 3} \: = \frac{6}{0} \: = ∞}$

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )

m = $\frac{4-2}{-3-3}$ = $\frac{2}{-6}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$
