Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 3).

Answer 1

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 $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$.

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.

$\frac{3-6}{5-3} = -\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is choice A, -3/2.
