Given:
(3, 0)
(6, -3)
x1 = 3
x2 = 6
y1= 0
y2 = -3
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 = (-3 - 0)/(6 - 3)
m = (-3)/(3)
m = -1
Final answer:
The slope of the line = -1
