Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (9, 3).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or
integer.

Answer 1

Slope of line passing through two points

`(x_(1), x_(2) ) \ and \ (y_(1), y_(2) ) \ is\ (y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )`

Slope of the line passing through (6, 7) and (9, 3)

`(3-7)/(9-6) = (-4)/(3)`

Answer 2

Slope = Y2-y1 divided by X2-X1
So it would be m= 3-7 over 9-6 = -4/3
Answer: -4/3, or rounded would be -1.333333 repeated
