find the slop (-1, -15) amd (-7, -19), advise if the slop is undefined or what

do you know the slope formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no I do not
OpenStudy (aripotta):
OpenStudy (aripotta):
that's the formula
OpenStudy (aripotta):
all you have to do is substitute the x's and y's

so that would be -7--1=6 and -19--15=4 right
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea, but it's y's over x's, remember that
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so the slope is 4/6, or simplified, 2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that means that they are undefined or would the slope be (-6,-4)
OpenStudy (aripotta):
the slope is 2/3

slope isn't a coordinate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be written like (2,3)
OpenStudy (aripotta):
no, it's 2/3 lol
OpenStudy (aripotta):
slope is written as rise/run
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol I need more coffee, I am doing a final and have 50 questions and only on #8 lol

that right rise and run formula
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so 2/3 means that the line goes up 2, and over to the right 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right that is a fraction 2/3 right
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea, slopes are written as fractions or whole numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks so much I am sure I will be back in a little bit lol
