Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points given.(4,3) and (5,-3)m=?

Answer 1

to calculate the slope of the line, let's use the formula

`m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1_{}}`

y2 = -3

y1 = 3

x2 = 5

x1 = 4

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(-3-3)/(5-4) \\ m=(-6)/(1) \\ m=-6 \end{gathered}`

the slope of the line is equal to -6
