How do you find the slope for (3, 7) and (0, 6)?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

#m=1/3#

To find the slope of the line connecting two points use the slope formula.

#m=((y_"2"-y_"1")/(x_"2"-x_"1"))#

Simply input the x and y values into the formula and simplify, in our case:

#m=((6-7)/(0-3)) = ((-1)/-3) = (1/3)#

To find the slope between two points, you use the formula:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ]

Substitute the coordinates of the two points:

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{6 - 7}{0 - 3} ]

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{-1}{-3} ]

[ \text{Slope} = \frac{1}{3} ]

So, the slope between the points (3, 7) and (0, 6) is ( \frac{1}{3} ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
