Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points(-3,3) and (5,9).

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Explanation:

`SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)`

`(9-3)/(5-(-3))=(6)/(8)=(6/2)/(8/2)=(3)/(4)`

Slope is 3/4.

Final answer is 3/4.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

Use the slope formula.


`slope = m = ( y_(2) - y_(1) )/( x_(2) - x_(1) )`

Subtract the y-coordinates.
Subtract the x-coordinates in the same order.
Divide the difference in y by the difference in x.


`slope = m = ( 3 - 9 )/( -3 - 5 )`


`slope = m = ( -6 )/( -8 )`


`slope = m = ( 3 )/( 4 )`
