b)negative 1 over 2

c)-2

d)2

Answer 1

Tell me the difference of y coordinates??

Answer 2

thats all the question asked :(

Answer 3

No I am explaining you step by step..

So tell me what is the difference of y coordinates??

Answer 4

10

Answer 5

Yes..

Similarly find the difference of x coordinates..

Answer 6

5

Answer 7

Yes you are right..

Now divide the two results you got..

What you got??

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

Yes so here you go..
This is the slope..

Answer 10

oh ok

Answer 11

By the way actual formula for slope is given by:

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

Answer 12

make sure you divide in the correct order :)
