Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points A(6, -2) and B(–3, 4).

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the points  \[\left( x_1 , y_1 \right) \text{and} \left( x_2 , y_2 \right)\]

\[\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

∴ Slope of the line passing through the points A(6, -2) and B(–3, 4) = \[\frac{4 - (-2)}{-3 - 6} = \frac{6}{-9} = \frac{2}{-3}\]
