Question

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 3, negative 3) and (0, 3).
What is the slope of the line on the graph?
1
1/2
2
3

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line passing through the points \((-3, -3)\) and \((0, 3)\), we can use the formula for the slope \(m\):

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-3, -3)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (0, 3)\).

Plugging in the values:

\[
m = \frac{3 - (-3)}{0 - (-3)} = \frac{3 + 3}{0 + 3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2
\]

Thus, the slope of the line is \(2\).

The answer is \(2\).
