Question

1. Find the slope of the line passing through (-3,-4) and (-6,-2).

Answer 1

slope= 2/-3

Explanation:

Equation of the line: y=2/-3x-6

the slope being 2/-3

the y-intercept being -6

putting the slope as -0.66667 will still get you the same line going.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

slope = -
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 2)

m =
`(-2+4)/(-6+3)` =
`(2)/(-3)` = -
`(2)/(3)`
