Question

What is the slope for (0,-1.5) (-6,-3)

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1.5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{-3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1.5)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{-6}-\underset{x_1}{0}}} \implies \cfrac{ -3 +1.5 }{ -6 } \implies \cfrac{ -1.5 }{ -6 } \implies \text{\LARGE 0.25}`
