Question

What is the slope of the line containing the points (3,-1), (6, 4)?

5/3
3/5
-5/3
-3/5

Answer 1

The slope of the line is 5/3.

Procedure:

M = Y2 - Y1

X2 - X1

M = 4 - (-1)

6 - 3

M = 5

3

Answer 2

5/3

Explanation:

To find the slope, we use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 4 - -1)/ ( 6-3)

= ( 4+1)/(6-3)

5/3
