Question

What is the slope of the line shown below? (2-3) ОА. 1/3 B. 3 C. D. -3​

Answer 1

Option D: -3 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given points are:

(-1, 6) and (2,-3)

We have to find the slope.

Slope is the steepness of a line. It is denoted by m.

Slope = m =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Here,

x1 = -1 , y1 = 6

x2 = 2, y2 = -3

Putting the values in the formula of the slope.

`m=(-3-6)/(2-(-1))\\\\m=(-9)/(2+1)\\\\m=(-9)/(3)\\\\m=-3`

Hence,

Option D: -3 is the correct answer.
