Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points 6 -10 and 3 and -13 what is the answer and simpler form

Answer 1

( 6, -10) AND (3 , -13)

Step 1

name parameter

x1 = 6 y1 = -10

x2 = 3 y2 = -13

Step 2

Write formula and substitute

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slope = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\text{ }\frac{-13\text{ -(-10)}}{3\text{ - 6}} \\ =\text{ }\frac{-3}{-3} \\ =\text{ 1} \end{gathered}$

Slope = 1
