Question

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: `(2, 3) , (-1, 0)`?

Answer 1

`1`

Explanation:

Slope is defined as:

`=>m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We are given:

`=> p_1 = (x_1,y_1) = (2,3)`

`=>p_2=(x_2,y_2) = (-1,0)`

The slope is:

`=>m = (0-3)/(-1-2) = (-3)/(-3) = color(green)( 1)`
