Question

Find the slope between (0, 6) and (-3,9)​

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

The formula for finding a slope is: m = (change in y)/(change in x)

Find the change in each value

Y: 9 - 6 = 3

X: -3 - 0 = -3

Input the values

m = 3/-3

m = -1

Answer 2

I would start this problem by setting up a table.

In the left column, we will have our x values

and in the right column, we have our y values.

Put our first ordered pair on the top and second on bottom.

We can see the y values go from 6 to 9 so change in y is 3.

The x values go from 0 to -3 so change in x is -3.

The slope is equal to the rate of change or change in y / change in x.

So our slope is 3/-3 of -1.
