Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points (3,6) and ( $-$6,$-$7)

Answer 1

The given points are (3, 6) and ($-$6, $-$7).

Here, x₁ = 3, y₁ = 6, x₂ = $-$6 and y₂ = $-$7
$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{-7-6}{-6-3} \\ =\frac{-13}{-9} \\ =\frac{13}{9} \end{gathered}$$
