Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through 6, 0 and −3, 2

Answer 1

slope = -
`(2)/(9)`

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`\frac{y_(2)-y_(1) }{x_{2-x_(1) } }`

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 2 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
`(2-0)/(-3-6)` =
`(2)/(-9)` = -
`(2)/(9)`
