Question

Find the slope of a line passing through each pair of points (0,6) and (3,0)

Answer 1

The slope of a line, m, that passes through a pair of points is given by the ratio between the variation in y and the variation in x:

`\begin{gathered} m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x) \\ m=(0-6)/(3-0) \\ m=(-6)/(3) \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}`

So, the slope of the line is m=-2
