Question

Find the slope of the line using the points (0,4) and (-3,6)

Answer 1

answer:
`-(2)/(3)`

work:

subtract the y values over the x values to solve, you can use this formula:

`\frac{y_(1) - y_(2)  } {x_(1) - x_(2)  }`

so, enter your values into the equation:

`(6)/(-3) - (4)/(0)`

now, simplify.

`(2)/(-3)`

so, the slope is
`-(2)/(3)`.

Answer 2

slope = -
`(2)/(3)`

calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m =
`(6-4)/(-3-0)` =
`(2)/(-3)` = -
`(2)/(3)`
