Question

What is the slope of the line shown below (3,9) (1,3)

Answer 1

Slope is a positive 3.

Answer 2

Slope of the line is 2.

Explanation:

Given coordinates of the point joining to form line are ( 3 , 9 ) and ( 1 , 3 )

We need to find Slope of line.

Slope of line from two given points are given as,

`Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Required Slope of line =
`(9-3)/(3-1)=(6)/(3)=2`

Therefore, Slope of the line is 2.
