Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (−3, −1) and (3, 8)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope of a line is defined by the amount of the rise in y over the amount in distance, x.

(−3, −1) and (3, 8)

Rise = 8 - (-1) or 9

Run = (3-(-3) or 6

Slope = Rise/Run or 9/6

Slope = (3/2)
