Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (3, 6). Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

6-3 divided by 3-5 = 3/-2 = -3/2 = slope

slope = "rise over run", the change in y over the change in x

(3-6)/(5-3) = -3/2. It doesn't matter which point you start with and which you subtract
