Given Coordinates: x1 = -3 y1 = 3, x2 = 3 y2 = -1
Slope Formula: m =
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3, 3) and (3, -1) is equal to –
Note: As a decimal number, –
Slope Formula: m =
y2 − y1/x2 − x1
Substitute the given coordinates into the Slope Formula and Simplify:m =
-1 − 3/3 − (-3)
m = -1 − 3/3 + 3
m = -4/6
m = – 4/6
(Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 6, GCF(4, 6) = 2)m = – 2/3
Therefore, the Slope of a Line given points (-3, 3) and (3, -1) is equal to –
2/3
Note: As a decimal number, –
2/3
