Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 3).
1 answer:
Hello!
To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 3), we will need to use the slope formula.
Slope formula is .
Now, we should assign the given points as x1, y1 or x2, y2. The point (3, 6) can be assigned to x1, y1, and (5, 3) to x2, y2.
Now, substitute the given points into the slope formula.
Therefore, the slope of the line is choice A, -3/2.

You can multiply by -30 to clear fractions.
.. 47 ≤ 10x +60
Now, subtract 60 and divide by 10
.. -13 ≤ 10x
.. -1.3 ≤ x
.. 47 ≤ 10x +60
Now, subtract 60 and divide by 10
.. -13 ≤ 10x
.. -1.3 ≤ x
Since this equation is already in standard form, there is no need to convert it. Standard form is Ax + By = C. In this equation, 7 = A, 3 = B, and 10 = C. From standard form, Ax + By = C equals negative A over B.
7x + 3y = 10
↓
Then you'd simplify.
The slope cannot be simplified any more, so this would be the final answer.
