How do you find the slope for (3, 7) and (0, 6)?

1 Answer

Mar 22, 2018

$m = \frac{1}{3}$ $m=1/3$

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line connecting two points use the slope formula.

$m = (\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}})$ $m=((y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1"))$

Simply input the x and y values into the formula and simplify, in our case:

$m = (\frac{6 - 7}{0 - 3}) = (\frac{- 1}{- 3}) = (\frac{1}{3})$ $m=((6-7)/(0-3)) = ((-1)/-3) = (1/3)$
