Question

How do you find the slope of (3,4) and(-6,10)?

Answer 1

`-2/3`

Explanation:

The slope equals change in y divided by change in x. The change in y is 4-10, or -6, and the change in x is 3 - (-6), or 9. `-6/9` can be reduced to `-2/3`.

Answer 2

`"slope "=-2/3`

Explanation:

`"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,4)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-6,10)`

`rArrm=(10-4)/(-6-3)=6/(-9)=-2/3`
