Question

A(2,2) , B(-5,4)
How would i find the slope of this, and whats the answer?

Answer 1

Use A program Like Geogebra and it will make life easier, tust me'

Answer 2

just use the point slope form

Answer 3

do you know what point slope form is...the whole (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Answer 4

roxgur1453 is also right ....i guess will ease calculations by a step or so

Answer 5

yes, im just really confused on how to use the form.

Answer 6

its really easy...so you have two ordered pairs. one orderd pair is x1 and y1, the other is x2 and y2. just put them into the equation then. so we'd have (4-2)/ (-5-2)

Answer 7

so ordered pair A was x1, y1 and ordered pair B was x2, y2

Answer 8

so would the answer be 2/-7?

Answer 9

Yes!!! you got it!

Answer 10

it helps to label your corrdinates, too. like write over to of them x1, y1 and x2, y2.

Answer 11

okay...so what about, L(5,5) M(4,2)

Answer 12

(5-2)/(5-4)

Answer 13

try it and see what you get. label the points and just plug in the right x and y values

Answer 14

okay. ill try. same way like we did last time?

Answer 15

yeah

Answer 16

priceless6899 remember graphs will only come by practice .....try a lot of them and u can perfect them...

Answer 17

okay.

Answer 18

you get the answer yet?

Answer 19

no not yet. kinda confused.

Answer 20

no..i got 5-2, and 5-4.

Answer 21

you're right... never mind haha. sorry i'm working on another probelm too!

Answer 22

hahaha..yay! so did i get it right?

Answer 23

1/3?

Answer 24

i did it like the opposite ya knoow....i used your 1st x&y as my second lol.no you should get 3

Answer 25

i think you just subtracted wrong. you have the values right...5-2 = 3 and 5-4= 1. so it's be 3/1 not 1/3

Answer 26

oh okay, i see what i did wrong! lol. how old r u?

Answer 27

priceless try this out but now with a time limit of 2 mins :- (-30,-5) (-2,-3)

Answer 28

A(2,2) , B(-5,4)
Slope m = (4 -2)/ (-5 -2) = -2/7
