Answer:

the slope of the line passing through (-3,0) (3,2) is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run. m=change in y/change in x. The change in x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise). m=y2-y1/x2-x1. Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope. m=2−(0)3−(−3)m=2-(0)3-(-3) Simplify. m=13

Answer:

slope: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:


\sf \boxed{\sf slope: \sf (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) } where (x1, y1), (x2, y2)

Solve for slope:

insert values


\rightarrow \sf (2-0)/(3-(-3))

remove brackets


\rightarrow \sf (2)/(3+3)

simplify


\rightarrow \sf (2)/(6)

final answer


\rightarrow \sf (1)/(3)
