Question

What is the slope of the line? A) -3B) 1/3 C) 3 D) -1/3​

Answer 1

Answer: m = -3

Step-by-step explanation: To get from (2, 3) to to (5, -3), we must

first go down 9 units so our rise is -9 and run 3 units to the right.

So our slope or rise over run is -9/3 or -3.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

So here, we would say that m = -3.

Answer 2

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -3 -6)/(5-2)

   = -9/3

   -3
