Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,6) and (5, 3).

-3/2
3/2
2/3

Answer 1

-3 / 2

Explanation:

slope formula is: change in y / change in x , y2-y1 / x2-x1

let (3.6) is (x1 , y2) and (5 , 3) (x2 , y2)

3 - 6 / 5 - 3 = -3 / 2

the slope is -3 / 2

Answer 2

-3/2.

Explanation:

To find the slope, we find the rise over run.

In this case, the rise is 6 - 3 = 3.

The run is 3 - 5 = -2.

The slope is 3 / (-2) = -3/2.
