Question

Using these coordinates, find the slope. (0, -6), (3, -2)

Answer 1

The slope between the points (0, -6) and (3, -2) will be:

• 
  `m=(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given the points

• (0, -6)

• (3, -2)

The slope between the points (0, -6) and (3, -2) will be:

`\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:-6\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:-2\right)`

`m=(-2-\left(-6\right))/(3-0)`

`m=(4)/(3)`

Therefore, the slope between the points (0, -6) and (3, -2) will be:

• 
  `m=(4)/(3)`
