What is the slope of line p? On a coordinate plane, a straight line goes through (negative 3, negative 2), (0, 0), and (3, 2). I NEED HELP FAST PLEASE, THANK YOU !!!!!

To figure out the slope you would want to use this formula for 2 of the points: Y2-Y1/X2-X1.

if you followed this for (-3,-2) and (3,2), you would get 2-(-2)/3-(-3)

this would equal 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3

the slope of line p = 2/3x

Answer:

slope = 2/3

Explanation:

To find the slope you use this equation:

difference in y / difference in x

so let's take two points you have given

(3,2) and (0,0)

take the difference in y which is both y coordinates so

2-0 = 2

and take the difference in x which is both x coordinates so

3-0 = 3

2/3
