Question

The slope of the line passing through the origin and the point (−3, 4) is ______.

Options

• `4/3`

• `-4/3`

• `3/4`

• `-3/4`

Answer 1

The slope of the line passing through the origin and the point (−3, 4) is `bbunderline(-4/3)`.

Explanation:

By formula,

Slope = `(y_2 − y_1)/(x_2 − x_1)`

Substituting values we get:

Slope of line passing through (0, 0) and (−3, 4)

= `(4−0)/(−3−0)`

= `4/(−3)`

= `−4/3`
