Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (–2, 6)? A. -3/2 B. -3/4 C.3/4 D. 0

Answer 1

Simple...

you have: (2,3) and (-2,6)

Using $\frac{ y_{1}- y_{2} }{ x_{1} - x_{2} }$-->>

$\frac{3-6}{2--2} = -\frac{3}{4}$

Thus, your answer.

Answer 2

To find the slope of two points, use the slope formula.

$\sf\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(2, 3), (-2, 6)
x1 y1  x2  y2

$\sf\dfrac{6-3}{-2-2}$

$\sf -\dfrac{3}{4}$
