Question

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (−3, −1) and (3, −10)?

A)Undefined
B) 0
C)negative two thirds
D) negative three halves

Answer 1

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Plugging in the values for the points (-3, -1) and (3, -10) into the formula, we get m = (-10 - (-1)) / (3 - (-3)) = -9/6 = -3/2. So the correct answer is D) negative three halves.

Answer 2

option D) negative three halves

Explanation:

slope of the line, m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

= -10+1 / 3+3 = -9/6 = -3/2

negative three halves which makes option D the correct answer
