Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points. (6,3) (2,-1)

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) ~\hfill~ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{-1}-\stackrel{y1}{3}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{6}}} \implies \cfrac{ -4 }{ -4 } \implies 1`
