Question

What is the slope of AB?

Answer 1

-2/3 from A you go to the right 3 times which is 3 x and you go down 2 which is -2y

Answer 2

Answer: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the slope of something, the quick way is to use $\frac{rise}{run}$.

In this situation, the “rise” (change in y axis) is -2 because it’s going down and the “run” (change in x axis) is 3. Therefore, it’s -2/3.

The formula to find slope is:

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

(I think, if I memorized it correctly)
