Question

Which of the following is the slope between the points (0, -10) and (-4, 0)?

two fifths

-negative two fifths

-negative five halves

five halves

Answer 1

negative 5/2 is the answer.

Answer 2

yah sorry negative five halves

Answer 3

Answers are cool, but they ain't gonna help you on a test. To figure out a slope of two points you just take the first x and minus the second x then divide it by the first y minus the second y, so....

\[(x _{1}n - x _{2})/(y _{1}-y _{2})\]

Answer 4

it's the same result...

Answer 5

isnt it m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 6

but explaining it helps for future problems

Answer 7

Whoops, I @Sarkar, you're right.

Answer 8

my formula i am using is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 9

thanks to all of you guys :)
