The difference in the x-coordinates of two points is 3, and the difference in the y-coordinates of the two points is 6. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points?

Question

anonymous · Answer

It's telling you about the slope formula.

anonymous · Answer

$\sf m = \dfrac{x_2-x_1}{y_2-y_1}$

"The difference in the x-coordinates of two points"
This is explaining the numerator.

"the difference in the y-coordinates of the two points"
This is explaining the denominator.
