Question

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

2
3
6
9

Answer 1

The slope of the line that passes through the points is
`2`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

In this problem we have

`(y2-y1)=6`

`(x2-x1)=3`

Substitute the values

`m=(6)/(3)=2`

Answer 2

slope = difference in y / difference in x
slope = 6/3 = 2 <===
