Question

How do you determine the slope of the line passing through (-3,0) and (4,3)?

Answer 1

Divide the difference between the y coordinates by the difference (taken in the same sequence) of the x coordinates.

Explanation:

For the points `(-3,0)` and `(4,3)`
the slope is
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(0-3)/((-3)-4) = (-3)/(-7) = 3/7`
