what is the slope of this line?

(-6,6) (-3, 5) y and x-axis

1 answer

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,6) and (-3,5), we use the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the points (-6,6) and (-3,5):

m = (5 - 6) / (-3 - (-6))
m = (-1) / 3
m = -1/3

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the two points is -1/3.
