Question

Find the slope of the ordered pair (0,-3) & (4,0)

Answer 1

`\textsf{Slope}=(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

We can find the slope of the given ordered pairs by using the slope formula.

`\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8cm}\underline{Slope Formula}\\\\Slope $(m)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$\\\\where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are two points on the line.\\\end{minipage}}`

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, -3)

Let (x₂, y₂) = (4, 0)

Substitute the ordered pairs into the slope formula:

`\implies m=(0-(-3))/(4-0)=(0+3)/(4-0)=(3)/(4)`

Therefore, the slope of the ordered pairs (0, -3) and (4, 0) is 3/4.

Answer 2

Slope = 3/4 (or) 0.75

Explanation:

Given coordinates,

→ x1 = 0, y1 = -3

→ x2 = 4, y2 = 0

Now we have to,

→ Find the slope of the ordered pair.

Formula we use,

→ Slope(m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then the required slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (0 -(-3))/(4 - 0)

→ m = (0 + 3)/4

→ m = 3/4

→ [ m = 0.75 ]

Hence, the slope is 3/4 (or) 0.75.
