Question

The slope of the line passing passing through the Origin and the Point having coordinates (3,2) is :

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{3}{2}$
• C. $\frac{-2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{-3}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{2}{3}$

Slope $\left(m\right)$ of a line passing through points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$.

Slope $\left(m\right)$ of a line passing through points $(0,0)$ and $(3,2)$ is given by,

$m=\frac{2-0}{3-0}=\frac{2}{3}$.

So, we select option $\left(A\right)$
