Question

Determine the slope of the line through the given points. If the slope is​ undefined, so state. ​(3​,2​) and ​(6​,11​)

Answer 1

y = 3x – 7

Explanation:

`(y_(2) )/(x_(2) ) -(y_(1) )/(x_(1) )`

`(11)/(6) -(2)/(3) =`

`(9)/(3) =`

3

The y-intercept of the slope is -7 if you graph it. So from the equation: y = mx + b, we get y = 3x - 7. (m is slope, b is y-intercept)

Answer 2

The slope is 3

Explanation:

We can find the slope by using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (11 -2)/(6-3)

= 9/3

= 3
