Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points(-3,3) and (5,9).

Answer 1

Use the slope formula.

$slope = m = \dfrac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }$

Subtract the y-coordinates.
Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order.
Divide the difference in y by the difference in x.

$slope = m = \dfrac{ 3 - 9 }{ -3 - 5 }$

$slope = m = \dfrac{ -6 }{ -8 }$

$slope = m = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 4 }$

Answer 2

Hi there! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

$SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{9-3}{5-(-3)}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{6/2}{8/2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Slope is 3/4.

Final answer is 3/4.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)
