Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(1,9), (0,6)`?

Answer 1

Slope of a line passing through `(1,9)` and `(0,6)` is `3`

Explanation:

The slope of a line passing through `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is

`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

Hence, slope of a line passing through `(1,9)` and `(0,6)` is

`(6-9)/(0-1)=(-3)/(-1)=3`
