Exercise 83 Page 438

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

- 3/2

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 Note that it does not matter which point we choose to use for ( x_1, y_1) and ( x_2, y_2), since the result of using the Slope Formula will be the same.

m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1
m=0- 6/1-( - 3)
â–¼
Add and subtract terms
m=0-6/1+3
m=-6/4
â–¼
Simplify
m=- 6/4
m=- 3/2

The slope of the line that passes through the given points is - 32.
