Question

Find the slope of a line passing through. (3, -2) and (6, -4)
Choices
-3/2 or -6/3 or 1/2 or -2/3

Answer 1

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {y_{2} - y_{1} \over x_{2} - x_{1}} }\)

Answer 2

\[\large slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 3

Another way to think about it is change in y over change in x.

Answer 4

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {-4 + 2 \over 6 - 3} }\)

Answer 5

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {-2 \over 3} }\)
