Question

What is the slope of the line passing through `(3,7) ; (6,-1)`?

Answer 1

`-8/3`

Explanation:

we know,
`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2). . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .(1)`
here,
`y_1=7`
`y_2=-1`
`x_1=3`
`x_2=6`
so, by putting all the values in (1) equation, we get,
`m=(7-(-1))/(3-6)`
`=(7+1)/-3`
`=8/-3`

`=-8/3`
