Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 5) and (-6, 4).13-13-3131

Answer 1

Step 1

Given; Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 5) and (-6, 4).

Step 2

Slope is given as;

`\begin{gathered} y_2=4 \\ y_1=5 \\ x_2=-6 \\ x_1=-3 \end{gathered}`

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(4-5)/(-6-(-3)) \\ m=(-1)/(-3)=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Answer;

`slope=(1)/(3)`
