Answer 1

@GitFace

Answer 2

Slope is found using

\[m = \frac{ y _{1}-y _{2} }{ x _{1}-x _{2} }\]
Your y2 is a fraction, but it doesn't change the way it works. Sub in 1/3 for your y2 and using basic subtraction of fractions, find the value of the numerator.

Answer 3

same way. still take delta y/delta x. so if u are doing -1/3 - 1.. its like -1/3 - 3/3 right?

Answer 4

A fraction is just a number like any other.

Answer 5

so then i would it be 4/3 / 2 ??

Answer 6

yes, but four thirds divided by 2 is 2 thirds

Answer 7

oh okay so final answer is 2/3 ?
