the slope of -1, 6 to 1, 0 what is the fraction to it

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (−1, 6) and (1, 0), you can use the slope formula:

\[ \text{slope (m)} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

Here, the two points are \((x_1, y_1) = (-1, 6)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 0)\).

Now substitute the coordinates into the formula:

\[ m = \frac{0 - 6}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{-6}{1 + 1} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3 \]

So, the slope is \(-3\).

If you are looking for the fraction representation, it can be expressed as \(-\frac{3}{1}\).
