Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: #(3, 5) ,(-3,-2) #?

Answer 1

`m = 7/6`

Explanation:

The slope, or steepness of a line, can be defined as:

`m = (Delta y)/(Delta x)` which means `"the change in the y-values"/"the change in the x-values"`

The formula is `m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m = (5-(-2))/(3-(-3)) = 7/6`
