How do you find the slope given (0,0) and (-3, -2)?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

The slope is

#m = 2/3#

The slope of a line based on two coordinate points can be found using the formula

#m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

For the coordinate points #(0,0) and (-3,-2)# #x_1 = 0# #x_2 = -3# #y_1 = 0# #y_2 = -2#

#m = (-2-0)/(-3-0)#

#m = (-2)/-3#

The incline is

#m = 2/3#

To find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you can use the formula: ( \text{slope} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} ). Substituting the given coordinates (0,0) and (-3, -2) into the formula, you get: ( \text{slope} = \frac{-2 - 0}{-3 - 0} = \frac{-2}{-3} = \frac{2}{3} ). So, the slope is ( \frac{2}{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.
