Question

Find the slope of AB. If it is a fraction such as 1/2, write as 1/2 without spaces. (3 points)

Answer 1

The slope of AB is 4/3

Explanation:

The Slope of a Line

If a line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

`\displaystyle m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

It's required to find the slope of the line AB shown in the figure. The coordinates of the endpoints are A(-3,2) B(0,6), thus the slope is:

`\displaystyle m=(6-2)/(0+3)`

`\displaystyle m=(4)/(3)`

The slope of AB is 4/3
