Question

The slope of the line if the two points are (6’0) and (-3,6)

Answer 1

6/-9, simplified to 2/-3

Answer 2

To find the slope, use the slope formula and plug in the two points:

(6,0) = (x₁ , y₁)

(-3,6) = (x₂ , y₂)

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

$m=\frac{6-0}{-3-6}$

$m=\frac{6}{-9} =-\frac{2}{3}$
