Question

What is the slope of (3, 3) and (-6, -3)

Answer 1

Answer:

m=2/3

Step by Step Explanation:

x1,y1= 3,-6

x2,y2=3,-3

m={-3-3}           (Fraction Form)

    {-6-3}

Refine:

m={2}{3}

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope = $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Identify x1, x2, y1, y2

Slope Formula:  $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

(x1, y1) -> (3, 3)

(x2, y2) -> (-6, -3)

Step 2:  Plug into the formula

Slope = $\frac{-3 - 3}{-6 - 3}$

Slope = $\frac{-6}{-9}$

The top negative sign and the bottom negative sign cancel to make a positive number.

Slope = $\frac{-6}{-9}$

Slope = $\frac{6}{9}$

The top and bottom can be simplified by a factor of 3.

Slope = $\frac{6}{9}$

Slope = $\frac{6/3}{9/3}$

Slope = $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer:  Slope = $\frac{2}{3}$
