Question

Find the slope of the line going through the points (0,6) and (-3,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 5.

The point slope form of the line is y=5x+6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using this formula: $\frac{y_{2} }{x_{2} } -\frac{y_{1} }{x_{1} }$

$\frac{6}{0} -\frac{9}{-3} =$

$\frac{6}{0} -(-\frac{9}{3} )=$

$\frac{6}{0} +\frac{9}{3} =$

$\frac{15}{3} =$

The slope of the line is 5.

To find point slope form, we use the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept of this slope is 6 and the slope is 5 so we get, y=5x+6
