Slope Formula

Question 3

Given the points A and B where A is at coordinates
( 3/2, 0 ) and B is at coordinates ( 0, - 6 ), find the slope of the line passing through the points A and B.

Solution

Label the points as x1 = 3 / 2, y1 = 0, x2 = 0, and y2 = - 6.

To find the slope m of the line passing through the points A and B, use the slope formula :Solution to Question 2

So, m = 4.
