Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, -10) and (3, -13)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 1.

You can also graph these points and connect them to find out that they increase by 1 unit per each x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1

So you can plug in the values

-13 - (-10)  /  3 - 6

-13 + 10 / -3

-3 / -3

= 1

Answer 2

Answer:

slope = change in y/change in X

y2 - y1 / X2 - x1

where y2 = -13 and y1 = -10

where X2 = 3 and x1 = 6

from the formula of slope

y2 - y1 / X2 - x1

-13 - -10/ 3 - 6

-3/-3

==> 1
