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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (aripotta):

lol ok. good luck :)
