A) $\frac { 3 } { 5 }$
B) $- \frac { 5 } { 3 }$
C) $\frac { 5 } { 3 }$
D) 0
E) $- \frac { 3 } { 5 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We use the formula for slope of a line passing through two points, which is

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

Plugging in the given points,

$$m=\frac{-11-(-6)}{0-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{3}$$

Thus, our answer is choice (B).

Fine the Slope of the Line Passing Through the Pair (−3,−6),(0,−11)( - 3 , - 6 ) , ( 0 , - 11 )(−3,−6),(0,−11)

Fine the Slope of the Line Passing Through the Pair $( - 3 , - 6 ) , ( 0 , - 11 )$
