Question

Find the slope of the line

Answer 1

slope =
`(3)/(2)`

To calculate the slope m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁) = (- 2, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(3-0)/(0+2)` =
`(3)/(2)`

Answer 2

We can use the points (-2, 0) and (0, 3) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 3-0/0-(-2)

= 3/2

Best of Luck!
