Question

Find the slope of the line between the two points

Answer 1

Answer: slope =
`(3)/(3)=1`

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to help us solve. This formula finds the change in y over the change in x.

Given formula:

`\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

Substitute known values:

`\displaystyle (-3--0)/(0-3)`

Simplify:

`\displaystyle (-3+0)/(0-3)=(-3)/(-3)=(3)/(3) =1`

This is a slope of 1. We can also use the "rise over run" method, see attached.
