Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (6,-1) and (2,-7)

Answer 1

`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

The equation to find the slope of the line is
`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`. Let us have (6,-1) as
`(x_1,y_1)` and (2,-7) as
`(x_2,y_2)`:

`m=(-1-(-7))/(6-2) \\m=(6)/(4)\\\\m=(3)/(2)`

Therefore, the slope of the line is
`(3)/(2)`

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer 2

ans:3/2

Explanation:

slope=-7-(-1)/2-6

=3/2
