Transcript text: Find the slope of the line shown in the figure. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify two points on the line
We can choose the points (0, 6) and (3, 0).
Step 2: Calculate the slope
The slope of a line is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the coordinates of the two points, we have:
m = (0 - 6) / (3 - 0)
m = -6 / 3
m = -2
