Question

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

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

To find the slope (gradient) of the line = change in y / change in x

`slope=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )\\(x_(1) ,y_(1) ) = (-2,6)\\(x_(2) ,y_(2) ) = (-6,3)`

insert those coordinates in the equation:

`slope=(3-6)/(-6-(-2)) =(-3)/(-4) =(3)/(4)`
