How do you find the slope of the line (-3,3) and (0,-3)?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#=-2#

the coordinates of a line's slope

#(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)#

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

for

#(-3,3), (0,-3)#

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

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

#m=(-6)/3=-2#

To find the slope of the line passing through the points ((-3, 3)) and ((0, -3)), you can use the slope formula:

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

Substitute the coordinates of the points into the formula:

[m = \frac{-3 - 3}{0 - (-3)}] [m = \frac{-6}{3}] [m = -2]

So, the slope of the line is (-2).

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.
