Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points E(3, 0) and F (6, -3)?

Answer 1

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~ 3 &,& 0~) % (c,d) &&(~ 6 &,& -3~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-3-0}{6-3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{3}\implies -1$

Answer 2

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $\frac{Y^2-Y^1}{X^2-X^1}=\frac{rise}{run}$

$\frac{(-3)-0=-3}{6-3=3}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

Therefore, the slope is -1.

Answer is -1.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
