Question

What is the slope of the line containing the points (-3,7) and (3,3)

Answer 1

-2/3

Explanation:

In order to find the slope, we need to find the change in y over change in x

For y: 7-3=4

For x: -3-3=-6

4/-6

We can simplify it into 2/-3

Answer 2

m = -2/3

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

m = (3 - 7)/(3 + 3)

m = -4/6

m = -2/3
