Question

Which of the following is the slope between the points (2, 3) and (-3, 0)?

Answer 1

\[\large \text{slope} \; = \; \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
does that help?

Answer 2

(subtract the y's) divided by (subtract the x's)

Answer 3

I got (3,-1)

Answer 4

a slope is a number..not a coordinate

Answer 5

and also i think what you did was \[((y_1 + y_2) \; ,\; (x_1 + x_2))\]

Answer 6

So would it be 3/-1?

Answer 7

hmm first tell me what's your y2?

Answer 8

i see what you did wrong..

\[-3 - 2 \ne -1\]

Answer 9

also 0 -3 is not 3

Answer 10

is 0-3= 0?

Answer 11

no

Answer 14

-3?

Answer 15

Answer 16
