Can someone please explain me why my answer is wrong.. Please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do i have to reduce it or no or its actually wrong answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All selected answers are correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really.. but its saying that its wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first screensot, something is wrong. It should be 4/6 or 2/3 not -4/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It also says that you should have it in SIMPLIFIED improper form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya there is a minus mistake...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These can be simplified to these. Question 4: -3 Question 5: 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

screenshot 12: slope=y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = -4-0/6-0 = -4/6 yes, all selected answers are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sancy, We take in order.. if you doing y2 - y1 then we should take x2 - x1 and not x1 - x2..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to reduce it.. because i know the answer is right but its saying that its wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SCREENSHOTS FOR THE WIN!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@waterineyes......that's what i wrote....pliz check first before proceeding.....thnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Sancy but you are not solving according to the formula..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x1, y1) = ((6, 0) (x2, y2) = (0, -4) Slope = (-4-0)/(0-6) Slope = (-4)/(-6) = 4/6 = 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to use the x and y-coordinates in the same order @Sancy (0, -4) and (6, 0) \[\frac{0 - (-4)}{6 - 0} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac23\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.k now i got it...thnx by the way.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You understand @Trexy ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
