Question

Find the slope

Answer 1

Finding the slope from two points is as simple as:

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Plug in your quantities:

$\frac{-1-3}{6-6}$

because, y2 = -1, y1 = 3, x2 = 6, x1 = 6

Solve:

$\frac{-4}{0}$

This is as far as this equation goes because you cannot divide by zero - are you sure you've provided the correct equation?

Answer 2

1. Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-1) Let (6, 3) be point (x1, y1) and (6,-1) be point (x2, y2).

Slope=[(-1)-(3)]/[(6)-(6)]=-4/0=undefined since you can't divide by 0.

2.slope=(3-(-3))/(-2-9)=6/-11

3. This is a line in slope intercept form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. If m is the slope, then slope=-9

4. Divide everything by - 2 to get y=-(1/2)x+1/2
Slope=m=-1/2

5. Solve for y. 5y=3x-7 y=3/5x-7/5 slope=m=3/5
