Question

What is the slope of the line through (3, 2) and (-3,4)?​

Answer 1

Choice A. -3

Explanation:

Using the x1-x2/ y1-y2 u fill in. So it would be 3-(-3) (x-axis) and 2-4 (y-axis).

So when u do both of those you are left with 6/-2.

When u simplify 6/-2 you get -3.

Answer 2

slope is -1/3

Explanation:

slope is read rise over run so the line, in this case, fell down 1 and ran 3. Falling means negative so the slope is negative 1 over 3. To easily determine a negative slope, see if the line is moving from top left to bottom right. If so, then it's negative. The other way around is a positive slope.
