Question

Find the original slope of (-6,-1) and (0,3)

Answer 1

The original slope would be -2/3

Answer 2

slope (m) = 2/3

Explanation:

slope = change in x /change in y

Also, slope is y2 - y1 / x2 -x1. That is what I apply for this activity, hence:

slope = 3 - (-1) / 0 - (-6)

= 3 + 1 / 0 + 6

= 4 / 6

= 2/3

∴ slope(m) = 2/3
