Question

how to find the slope of the two points G (2,6) and H(4,-2), how to solve?

Answer 1

y-y/x-x

Answer 2

g-h; and stack y/x

Answer 3

Do the bigger numbers get subtracted from, or there's a certain order?

Answer 4

G (2,6)
-H (4,-2)
---------
(-2,8); 8/-2

Answer 5

doesnt matter, pick one and subtract it from the other

Answer 6

That's in all cases right?

Answer 7

no, it only works for this one problem :)

Answer 8

Oh, what would I do for other problems?

Answer 9

yes, for all cases of finding slope from 2 points this works fine

Answer 10

see jennamays problem up top? find slope between 2 points?

same process

Answer 11

So there's no certain way to choose which number is subtracted from?

Answer 12

You just pick one at random?

Answer 13

stack your points like I did to avoid any confusion

Answer 14

G (2,6)
-H (4,-2)
---------
(-2,8); 8/-2

OR


H(4,-2)
- G (2,6)
---------
(2,-8); -8/2

Answer 15

That goes for all problems right? Like for C (2,-1) and D(4,3)?

Answer 16

yep, try it out

Answer 17

c-d OR d-c ... doesnt matter

Answer 18

Ohh I see, it works for non-negative ones too correct? A(1,2) and B(10,5)?

Answer 19

yep, a point is a point is a point.

Answer 20

subtract one point from the other and stack y/x :)

Answer 21

subtract one point from the other?

Answer 22

give it a shot so I can see how your interpreting my instructions

Answer 23

A(1,2)
B(10,5)
________

-9
----
-3

3
---
1

OR

B(10,5)
A(1,2)
_______

9
--
3

3
--
1

Answer 24

very good

Answer 25

but stack y/x

Answer 26

Thanks, I always thought there was some tricky math magic involved with slope that I never got :P Thanks again

Answer 27

y = 3
x = 9

in this case

Answer 28

Yea
