Question

Tell the slope of a line that contains the points (5, − 3) and (7, 3).

Answer 1

`m = 3`

Explanation:

`slope \: = m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) \\ = ( - 3 - 3)/(5 - 7) \\ = ( - 6)/( - 2) \\ = 3`

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 3 - -3)/( 7-5)

= (3+3)/(7-5)

= 6/2

= 3
