how would I find the slope of the line passing through each pair of points in (3, 7) and (6, -11)
78
m = (delta y) / (delta x) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Thank you.
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, you can use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In the given pair of points, (3, 7) and (6, -11), let's assign the values as follows:
x1 = 3, y1 = 7 (coordinates of the first point)
x2 = 6, y2 = -11 (coordinates of the second point)
Now, we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (-11 - 7) / (6 - 3)
Simplifying this expression:
slope = (-18) / (3)
Finally, we get the slope of the line passing through the given pair of points:
slope = -6
