Question

1) What is the slope of the line containing the
points (3,4) and (-6, 10)?

Answer 1

`m=-(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

The slope,
`m`, between two points,
`(x_1, y_1), (x_2,y_2)`, is given by the formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, therefore,
`m`, between
`(3,4), (-6,10)` is
`m=(10-4)/(-6-3)=-(6)/(9)=-(2)/(3)`
