find the slope of (3,4) (6, -2)
Could anyone try to explain it how they did this
If I'm right it's -2
Could you maybe explain how you got that.
To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Here, the points are (3, 4) and (6, -2).
Substituting the values into the formula:
slope = (-2 - 4) / (6 - 3)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
slope = -6 / 3
Dividing:
slope = -2
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 4) and (6, -2) is -2.
