Question

What is the slope of the line that passes
through the points (6, 5) and (3, 11)?

Answer 1

- 2

================

Use the formula:

• slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

First, let's assign the coordinates:

• (x₁, y₁) = (6, 5) and
• (x₂, y₂) = (3, 11)

Using the formula, we can calculate:

• slope = (11 - 5) / (3 - 6)
• slope = 6 / -3
• slope = -2

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points (6, 5) and (3, 11) is -2.
