SLOPE


__________________________

Slope is the gradient of a line, it is denoted by the variable m.

Given:


\sf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}, \stackrel{y_1}{ - 6}) \: and \: (\stackrel{x_2}{3}, \stackrel{y_2}{3})

Answer & Solution:


\sf m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)


\sf m = (3 \: - \: ( - 6))/(3 \: - \: 0)


\sf m = (9)/(3 )


\sf m = 3

∴ The slope is D.) 3.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 3) ← 2 points on the line

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
(3-(-6))/(3-0) =
(3+6)/(3) =
(9)/(3) = 3
