Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through (3, 6) and. (5, 3) a. -3/2 b. 3/2 c. 2/3

Answer 1

option a

Explanation:

To find the slope 'm' we use 2 points from the line, those are given in the statement:

`x_(1) =3\\y_(1) =6\\\\x_(2) =5\\y_(2) =3\\m=(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\m=(3 -6 )/(5-3)}\\m=(-3 )/(2)}`
