The slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by: $$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.$$ Applying this formula to the given points $(6,5)$ and $(3,1)$ yields: $$\frac{1-5}{3-6}=-\frac{4}{-3}=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } \frac{4}{3}}.$$
bot can you give me the answer that was in that question
Sure! The answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\frac43}$.
Bot is it A B C or D
Oops, sorry for the typo earlier. The answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\frac43}$.
