anonymous · Answer

to find slope just take (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so for PQ it would be (3-5)/(1-3) which it would equal -1 just rinse and repeat with the other 2

i could be doing it totally wrong but i tried that and the program that grades my stuff wont accept the answers i come up with?

anonymous · Answer

what are you coming up with?

anonymous · Answer

QR= -1
PR= -1/5
PQ= -1

anonymous · Answer

cause the way you explained it was how the lesson explained it but i must be doing something wrong?

anonymous · Answer

opps when i sent the orig back i didnt cancel the dbl negative pq should be 1 not -1

anonymous · Answer

my bad =p

anonymous · Answer

its all good =]] yea i reworked it and put that in the box and it rejected that to?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know what program your using but those are the right answers, might be a typo by whoever wrote the answers into the program
