Question

Find the slope of the line

Answer 1

the slope of the line is 3

Answer 2

The slope of the line is: 3

Explanation:

Given the points

(-3, -6) and (3, 12)

Determine the slope between (-3, -6) and (3, 12) using the formula

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

where

m is the slope between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

In our case,

• (x₁, y₁) = (-3, -6)

• (x₂, y₂) = (3, 12)

now substitute (x₁, y₁) = (-3, -6) and (x₂, y₂) = (3, 12) in the slope formula

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

`m=(12-\left(-6\right))/(3-\left(-3\right))`

`m=(12+6)/(3+3)`

`m=(18)/(9)`

`m=3`

Therefore, the slope of the line is: 3
