Question

c. The slope between the coordinates (3, 26) and (4, 23) is *blank*


A 1/3
B -3
C -1/3
D 3

Answer 1

To find the slope between the coordinates (3, 26) and (4, 23), we use the formula for the slope \( m \):

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

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (3, 26)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (4, 23)\).

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
m = \frac{23 - 26}{4 - 3} = \frac{-3}{1} = -3
\]

Thus, the slope between the coordinates (3, 26) and (4, 23) is **-3**.

The answer is **B -3**.
