Question

Determine the slopes of the lines passing through the specified points.

Answer 1

(3,-1) and (-7,-1)

Answer 2

It is a straight line

Answer 3

the slope is 0 scince the (-1)-(-1)/(-7)-(3) =0 i.e. a straight line

Answer 4

Oh so just put the answer as 0? And can you help me with one more please?

Answer 5

OK, if i could .

Answer 6

Ok i will post it.

Answer 7

(7,4) and (-6,13)

Answer 8

calculate it like i did for the first two points here is the rule
slope m for two points (x1.y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 9

(x1.y1) is in your case (7,4) and (x2,y2) is (-6,13) just substitute

Answer 10

Wait i am confused?

Answer 11

So just substitute those and subtract?

Answer 12

exactly.. try it and i'll try to correct

Answer 13

Ok so... 7-(-6) and 4-13... am i correct so far?

Answer 14

yes now you have to divide them just like the rule says

Answer 15

(4-13)/7-(-6)

Answer 16

Wait you divide then subract?
