Question

Compare and Contrast. Below are two sets of points. Find the slopes between the two points and compare them. Choose the statement that is true about the values of the slopes.

Answer 1

Set #1 Set #2
(4, 4) and (2, 6) (2, 4) and (4, 2)


A) The slope of Set #1 is smaller than the slope of Set #2.

B) The slope of Set #1 is larger than the slope of Set #2.

C) The slope of Set #1 is the same as the slope of Set #2.

D) None of the statements above describes slopes of sets shown.

Answer 2

Well first it would make sense for you to find the slopes...... do you know how to do that?

Answer 3

So which of the answers makes the most sense?

Answer 4

Are you sure your slopes are corretc or should I check them?

Answer 5

Let me check really fast..... better safe then sorry :)

Answer 6

your slopes were incorrect

Answer 7

Tell me how you calculated the slopes so I can help you fix your mistake
Knowing ohw to find slope is a very important skill

Answer 8

on the question it said 4,4, and 4,2 so thats how i got the points

Answer 9

Okay and then how did you calculate the slope?

Answer 10

Still there?

Answer 11

i am so confused

Answer 12

can u tell me how to solve it

Answer 13

OKay well I will help you through it

Answer 14

So first lets start with this Slope is rise over run (rise / Run)

Answer 15

okay

Answer 16

Or \[(y2-y1)\div(x2-x1)\]

Answer 17

so you divide the rise and run?

Answer 18

So to keep things easy I like to label one set of points as set1 and one as set 2

Answer 19

Yes basically

Answer 20

okay then

Answer 21

Then you take the y from the set of points you labeled 1 and subtract them from the y from 2

Answer 22

For thr first set of points in your problem what do you get?

Answer 23

You should have gotten something like this

Answer 24

did you?

Answer 25

im so lost i think im gonn

Answer 26

im gonna have to get my cousin to explain
