Question

The difference in the x-coordinations of two points is 3, and the difference in the y-coordinations of the two points is 6. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 6
D. 9

Answer 1

`x = 3 / 6 = 2`

Answer 2

The slope is 2.

Explanation:

Slope = difference of y coordinates / corresponding difference in x coordinates.

So here the slope is 6/3 = 2.
