Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2,5) and (7,3)?

Find the slope of the line passing through (11, -2) and (2, -2).

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 9) and (5, 3).

Show me how?

Answer 1

formula of making linear equation is

(y-y1)/(y2-y1)=(x-x1)/(x2-x1)

at last the ratio of x is the slope

Answer 2

1. -2/5
2. 0
3. -6/7

EXP:
1. (3-5)/(7-2)=-2/5
2. (-2--2)/(2-11)=0
3. (3-9)/(5--2)

The formula is: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

The rule is : y2-y1/x2-x1

just substitute the numbers in the question in the rule and you'll have the correct answer

Answer 4

for example the first one will be : 3-5/7-2 = -2/5

Answer 5

so i tried what you said on this
Find the slope of line passing through the points (4,8) and (6, -2). and got -6/2 which is -3 but neither option is there.

Answer 6

-2-8/6-4=-10/2=-5

Answer 7

what did I do wrong?

Answer 8

show me what u did ...maybe u mixed up the signs

Answer 9

(4,8) and (6, -2)

(2-8)/(6-4)
-6/2

Answer 10

u forgot to put the - sign infront of the 2

Answer 11

ohhh Haha I get it now thanks!!!

Answer 12

Happy to help :)

Answer 13

okay so I feel really stupid for asking again... But I tried it on this one


What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (–6,1) and (4,–4)?
I didnt forget any - signs this time and

Answer 14

i got -3/-2 and thats not an option

Answer 15

-4-4/4-(-6)= -8/10=-4/5

Answer 16

the two -- are turned into a +

Answer 17

as u r writing it this way : -4-4/4+6=-8/10=-4/5

Answer 18

as if *

Answer 19

A.-2
B.2
C.-½
D.½
are my choices

Answer 20

sorry ...my mistake i wrote -4 instead of -1

Answer 21

here's the solution

Answer 22

-4-1/4+6= -5/10=-1/2

Answer 23

it's c .-1/2

Answer 24

thanks I was sitting here going uhhh

Answer 25

urw....again srry for the mixup :)
