Question

What is the slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3)

Answer 1

Slope formula: m = $\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}$ (Knowing that m represents the slope)

Substitute (1,0) for (x1,y1), and (-1,-3) for (x2,y2)

Slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3) is:

m = $\frac{(-3-0)}{(-1-1)}$ = $\frac{-3}{-2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$  

(Simplify)

Slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3) is $\frac{3}{2}$
