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

The slope or gradient of a straight line passing through points $(x_{1}, y_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)$ may be given by

$m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$ .

The result in this particular case is hence :

$m=(6-2)/(9-(-3))=4/12=1/3$ .

What is the slope of the line passing through the following points: (-3,2) , (9, 6)(−3,2),(9,6) (-3,2) , (9, 6)?
