Question

What is the slope of ( 0, 3) (-2, 0)

Answer 1

If you look straight, x is changing by -2.
And, y is changing by -3.
Slope is supposed to be change in y over change in x.

Answer 2

So, -3/-2.. this can be simplified
don't count on that answer :P

Answer 3

You can use this formula to find the slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1) & (x2,y2)

\[\Large Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]

Answer 4

And then there's a formula that the teachers want.

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large Slope = {y_2 - y_1 \over x_2 - x_1} }\)

Answer 5

Thanks!
