Question

How do you find the slope of the line passing through (6,-3), (1, -13)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=2`

Explanation:

`"calculate the slope m using the "color(blue)"gradient formula"`

`•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(6,-3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(1,-13)`

`rArrm=(-13-(-3))/(1-6)=(-10)/(-5)=2`
