Question
Find the slope of the line passing through the points A(6, -2) and B(–3, 4).
Solution
The slope of the line passing through the points \[\left( x_1 , y_1 \right) \text{and} \left( x_2 , y_2 \right)\]
∴ Slope of the line passing through the points A(6, -2) and B(–3, 4) = \[\frac{4 - (-2)}{-3 - 6} = \frac{6}{-9} = \frac{2}{-3}\]
