Question

How do you find the slope of the line that passes through (4,3), (-1,6)?

Answer 1

Ans: `-0.6`

Explanation:

Slope `=` the gradient of the line

The gradient of line `= (y_2 - y_1 )/(x_2 - x_1)`

I will take `(x_1 , y_1)` as `(4 ,3)` and `(x_2, y_2)` as `(-1 , 6)`.

It doesn't really matter, you can take any way you want because the correct substitution into the formula is the important part.

So...

Gradient `= (6-3)/(-1-4) = -0.6`
