Question

Find the slope of the points (2a,3b),(a-b)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope=

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{ - b - 3b}{a - 2a} \\ = \frac{ - 4b}{ - a} \\ = \frac{4b}{a}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the points (2a,3b),(a-b) is 4b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equivalent to gradient.

The gradient of a line is given by:

Gradient = Change in y/ change in x

from the given question we have that:

Change in y = (3b - (-b)) = 3b + b = 4b

Change in x = 2a - a = a

Substituting this in the formula above we have that:

Gradient = 4b/a

The slope of the two points is 4b/a
