Question

What is the slope of (3, 3) and (-6, -3)

Answer 1

m=2/3

Step by Step Explanation:

x1,y1= 3,-6

x2,y2=3,-3

m={-3-3} (Fraction Form)

{-6-3}

Refine:

m={2}{3}

Answer 2

Slope =
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify x1, x2, y1, y2

Slope Formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

(x1, y1) -> (3, 3)

(x2, y2) -> (-6, -3)

Step 2: Plug into the formula

Slope =
`(-3 - 3)/(-6 - 3)`

Slope =
`(-6)/(-9)`

The top negative sign and the bottom negative sign cancel to make a positive number.

Slope =
`(-6)/(-9)`

Slope =
`(6)/(9)`

The top and bottom can be simplified by a factor of 3.

Slope =
`(6)/(9)`

Slope =
`(6/3)/(9/3)`

Slope =
`(2)/(3)`

Answer: Slope =
`(2)/(3)`
