Question

what slope passes through the points (−6, −6) and (−3, 1)?

Answer 1

Slope of the line passes through the points is -5/3.

Comments

Slope passes through the points (−6, −6) and (−3, 1) are 7/3.

Answer 2

Let the points are (x₁, y₁) = (- 6, - 6) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 3, 1).

Slope (m) = [(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁)]

m = [(1 - (- 6))/(- 3 - (-6))]

m  = [(1 + 6)/(- 3 + 6)]

⇒ m = 7/3.

Slope passes through the points are 7/3.
