Question

1) Find the slope of the line through points (3, -5) and (2, -9).

2) Find the slope of the line through points (-10, 8) and (4, 6).

Answer 1

\[slope=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]It doesn't matter what coordinate you use as 1 or 2 as long as you stay consistent

Answer 2

\[(x_1,y_1)\]

Answer 3

I gave you the formula. All you have to do is plug in the numbers. I'll check your answers, but I'm not going to do it for you.

Answer 4

exactly as @ChmE says it. the slope/gradient formula is what he stated and you just plug in the values.
(3,-5) (2,-9)
(x1,y1) (x2,y2)
now try it.

Answer 5

(3,2) (-5,-9)

Answer 6

>?

Answer 7

How did you do that? Try again.

Answer 8

\[\frac{ -9 - ? }{ 2-? }\]I started number 1 for you

Answer 9

-5/3 ??

Answer 10

nope, try again.

Answer 11

\[\frac{-9-(-5)}{2-3}\]= ????

Answer 12

-4/-1

Answer 13

which is 4.

Answer 14

now try to do the second one using the same type of procedure.

Answer 15

6+8/4-10?

Answer 16

Answer 17

(6-8)/(4+10)
