Which of the following is the slope between the two points (4,2) and (3,1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a.1 b.-1 c.2 d.-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3-4)/(1-2) = 1 A Try to figure out the formula for the slope!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you explain the formula D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here goes: \[slope = (x _{2} - x _{1})\div (y _{2} - y _{1})\] In this case, \[x _{2} = 3, x _{1} = 4, y _{2} = 1, y _{1} = 2\]

?????? D:

do you see the 3, 4, 1, and 2 in the (4, 2) and (3, 1)? (4, 2) is the first point, and (3, 1) is the second point. Do you see why I put the \[_{1 }\] and \[_{2}\] there?
