Given:
(-6, 2)
(-3, 4)
x1 = -6
x2 = -3
y1= 2
y2 = 4
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(-3 - (-6))
m = (4 - 2)/(-3 + 6)
m = (2)/(3)
m = ⅔
Final answer:
The slope of the line = ⅔
