Question

Find the slope of the line graphed below.

A. 5/3
B. 3/5
C. -5/3
D. -3/5

Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow Slope = \Large{\Delta y \over \Delta x}}\)

Answer 2

Simply find the change in \(y\) for every unit change in \(x\).

Answer 3

Right. Can you just see my explanation and then find the slope?

Answer 4

slope = tan\(\theta\) .. = \(\large{\frac{opposite}{adjacent}}\)

calculare opposite by using pythagoras theorem ..

Answer 5

Or you could just note down two points \((-3,0) \text{ and} (0,5)\)

Answer 6

yes .. both r correct

Answer 7

put opposite = 5 and adjacent = -3

Answer 8

May i know what r u getting? @dasDaName ?

Answer 9

@mathslover are you trying to find \(\theta\)?

Answer 10

\[Slope = {y_2 - y_1 \over x _2 - x_1} \Longrightarrow {5 - 0 \over 0 - (-3) }\]

Answer 11

no ..@lgbasallote .. yes @ParthKohli adjacent's place = 0-(-3)=3 ..

Answer 12

then why propose tan theta?

Answer 13

Why make it so complicated?

Answer 14

haha, im not sure how to start this.do i just randomly pick to points on the graph thats on the line?

Answer 15

Yes, the points that you can manage.

Answer 16

weren't you always keen on going "by the book" and being very complicated @ParthKohli ? suddenly had a change of views? lol

Answer 17

Two random points. Yep.
It'd be better if the coordinates are integers.

Answer 18

ok, (−3,0) and(0,5), then the next step would be? nah il try to manage it

Answer 19

The slope formula is the next step.

Answer 20

\[Slope = {y_2 - y_1 \over x_2 - x _1} \]

Answer 21

\[(5-0)(0-(negative)3) \]

Answer 22

Yes.

Answer 23

There's a division sign in between, so careful.

Answer 24

correct ?

Answer 25

Yeah. What's 5 - 0?

Answer 26

*5 and 3

Answer 27

?

Answer 28

Yeah

Answer 29

alright, i really appreciate it man, thanks
