Question

The difference in the x-coordinates of two points is 3, and the difference in the y-coordinates of the two points is 6. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 6
D. 9

Answer 1

C. 6

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. 2

Explanation:

slope formula is :
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` or the difference in y-coordinates in 2 points divided by the difference in x-coordinates in 2 points.

in this question, they have given you both the difference in x and difference in y.

therefore this question is saying :
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` =
`(6)/(3)`

`(6)/(3)`= 2

therefore, the correct slope value is A. 2
