Question

find the slope then tell whether the line rises, falls, is horizontal or is vertical.
(-3,6), (-7,3)

Answer 1

The formula is: \[ \frac{ y ^{2} - y ^{1} }{ x ^{2} - x ^{1}}\]

Can you do that?

Answer 2

0.75

Answer 3

Actually, the slope formula is

\[\large m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 4

The subscripts are not superscripts

Answer 5

Yep. Now what do you think the line does?

Answer 6

Yea that's what I meant Hero. He got the idea though

Answer 7

Yes, but I got something other than 3/4 for the slope

Answer 8

what??

Answer 9

so the slop is 3/4 ?
