Question

What is the slope of the line passing through `(3,0); (6,9)`?

Answer 1

The slope: `= 3`

Explanation:

`(3,0) = color(blue)(x_1, y_1`
`(6,9) = color(blue)(x_2, y_2`

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope `= color(blue)((y_2- y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)`

`= (9 - 0) / (6 - 3)`

`= (9 ) / (3)`

`= 3`
