Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 6) and (10, 9).

Answer 1

The slope is 3/7.

Explanation:

Use the slope formula.

Slope formula:

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(RISE)/(RUN) }`

`\sf{y_2=9}\\\\\sf{y_1=6}\\\\\sf{x_2=10}\\\\\sf{x_1=3}`

Solution: Rewrite it down.

`\sf{(9-6)/(10-3)=\boxed{\sf{(3)/(7)}}`

• Therefore, the slope is 3/7, which is the correct answer.
