Question

Hi, I got the answer that the slope being 3 when I tried it by myself and was wondering if that would be correct or not?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

3

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the formula to determine the slope is the following:

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

To calculate the slope, in this case, we select the external points (-1, -6) and (3, 6) we substitute:

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-6-6}{\:-1-3}=\frac{-12}{-4} \\ \\ m=3 \end{gathered}$

The slope of the function is 3
