What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-6, -7) and (6, -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula to find slope \[{y_{2}-y_{1}\over x_{2}-x_{1}}\]then substitute\[{-5-(-7)\over 6-(-6)}\]the negatives cancel out to positives\[{-5+7\over 6+6}\]combine like terms\[2\over12\]simplify\[1\over 6\]

@b.l.m helpful?? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaah (: so that means the answer 1/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the slope of the line going through (6,-7) and (-6,-5) is 1/6 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thaaanks!(;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youre very welcome :) ...let me know if you have any more questions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do lol cause im takin a test :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :D ...just keep posting and tag me in your question :) (@ + yummydum in the comment box)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-3, -2) and (4, -2)? @yummydum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay use the formula \[{y_{2}-y_{1}\over x_{2}-x_{1}}\]then substitue in your values\[{-2-(-2)\over 4-(-3)}\]the negatives cancel out to positives\[-2+2\over 4+3\]combine like terms\[0\over 7\]simplify\[0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the simpplify part is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes your answer is 0 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anymore before i head out? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 1) and (0, -3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay using the same formula plug in those values\[-3-1\over 0-(-2)\]the negatives...\[-3-1\over 0+2\]combine like terms\[-4\over 2\]simplify\[-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we wrapped up? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 8) and (-2, 1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess not :P ... okay the formula n the values...also the negatives\[1-8\over -2+2\]combine...\[-7\over 0\]simplify\[undefined\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you getting this from a site or are you just that smart lol?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm...given that you are a sophomore in high school (i will be too in 7 days :D) you should know this stuff lol...but no im using my brain for this, not a website :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will be one in like two weeks :) but im doin pre-al and iddddk none of this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well everyone learns at their own pace....i am no one to judge you...hope you do good in math :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome! :)
