gosh, I think I asked this before but I need to ask it again. find the slope, if it exists, of the line containing the pair of points: (-11, -19) and (-16,-20) the slope is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope of a line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the formula for finding slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there you go, chenna gave it to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she did? Darn it. I missed it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so y2 means the y-coordinate of a point, and y1 is the y-coordinate of another point

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

-_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and similarly x1 is the x-coordinate of one point, and x2 is the x-coordinate of another point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Foo? Are you making fun of me?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

NOWAY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cause you know you are da man??

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yea, & im still available for any kind of help u want.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take any point as (x1,y1) and other one as (x2,y2) and substitute the values in the above equations I have mentioned. You will get the slope.
