Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (0, $-$$\sqrt{3}$) and (3,0).

Answer 1

The given points are (0, $-$$\sqrt{3}$) and (3,0).

Here, x₁ = 0, y₁ = $-$$\sqrt{3}$, x₂ = 0 and y₂ = 0

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ =\frac{0-(-\sqrt{3})}{3-0} \\ =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \end{gathered}$$
