Question

find the slope of a line through the points (2,5)and (3,5)

Answer 1

Find the difference in the y coordinates. In other words, subtract the y coordinates

What do you get when you do this?

Answer 2

\[\large{\underline{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\]

Answer 3

jim i don't get it could show me the steps pls?

Answer 4

The difference between the y coordinates is 5-5 = 0

The difference between the x coordinates is 2-3 = -1

Note: I'm subtracting the second coordinate from the first

Now divide the y difference by the x difference:

0/(-1) = 0

So the slope is 0

Answer 5

thnx but how do i do it in dy/dx form using first derivative

Answer 6

you must be thinking of a totally different problem since you don't need to use derivatives in this simple problem

Answer 7

derivatives do involve slopes, but to find the slope, you don't need to find the derivative

Answer 8

ok how do i put it in dy/dx form

Answer 9

I'm not sure what you mean, but please don't confuse the two problems.

Answer 10

am confused already

Answer 11

y=x^4+5x^3-4x^2+7x-2

Answer 12

yes this is a separate problem entirely, please post it as it's own thing.

Answer 13

k don't you have any answer to it

Answer 14

I do have an answer, just please post this as its own question
