Question

The set of points P(0, 3), Q(2, 0), R(4, -3) are collinear and the line has a slope of _____.

Answer 1

-3/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

slope = -1.5

Explanation:

A set of three or more points are said to be collinear if they all lie on the same straight line.

We have been given the following collinear set of points;

P(0, 3), Q(2, 0), R(4, -3)

This implies that P, Q, and R lie on the same line.

The slope of a line is defined as; (change in y)/(change in x)

Using the points P and Q, the slope of the line is calculated as;

(0-3)/(2-0) = -3/2 = -1.5
