  1. Question 1

    The line passes through the marked points (0, −3) and (3, 1). What is its slope? Give a whole number or fraction.

    xy−66−12−66120y = 1.333333333x − 3(0, −3)(3, 1)

    Answer(as a fraction)

  2. Question 2

    Find the slope (gradient) of the line through (2, 0) and (−1, 6). Give a whole number or a fraction in simplest form.

    xy−12−6612−12−66120AB

    Answer(as a fraction)

  3. Question 3

    The line passes through the two marked points (0, −2) and (2, 0). What is its slope?

    xy−66−12−66120y = x − 2AB

    Answer

  4. Question 4

    A line goes through (−3, −8) and (1, 4). Is its slope positive or negative, and what is it?

    xy−6−4−2246−20−16−12−8−4481216200y = 3x + 1AB

    Answer

  5. Question 5
