How do you find the slope of a line passing through the given points (3,3)and (4,0)?

Answer 1

Slope is -3

Use the slope formula #(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)#

Slope would be #(0-3)/(4-3)# = -3

To find the slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you use the formula: slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). Substituting the given points: slope (m) = (0 - 3) / (4 - 3) = -3/1 = -3. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (3,3) and (4,0) is -3.
