Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -6) and (6, 12).

Please help! I am not good with these!:(

Answer 1

Slope is y2 -y1 over X2-x1 so

\[\frac{ 12 - (-6) }{ 6 - 3 } = \frac{ 18 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 6 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 2

Thank you so much!

Answer 3

If you have any other questions, post here and ill get back to you.

Answer 4

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 7) and (11, 7)??

Answer 5

Answer 6

Lets try it! Remember that slope is:

\[\frac{Y2-Y1 }{ X2-X1 }\]

And your equation is (8,7) (11,7)

Your equation converts to (X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)

Try to input your equation into the forumla and let me know what you get.

Answer 7

(7-7)/(11-8) Correct?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Lets try it! Remember that slope is:

\[\frac{Y2-Y1 }{ X2-X1 }\]

And your equation is (8,7) (11,7)

Your equation converts to (X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)

Try to input your equation into the forumla and let me know what you get.

Answer 10

Yeah, so it's (7-7)/(11-8) Correct?

Answer 11

The slope of that line is 0, because

\[\frac{ 0 }{ 3 } = 0\]

Answer 12

Okay, another one. Find the slope of the line that passes through (-9, 5) and (6, 13).
and I already know that (13-5)/(6-(-9) = 8/-3 but does it simplify at all? @jidery

Answer 13

That is as simplified as that can go, it looks like
\[-\frac{ 8 }{ 3 }\]

The negative sign goes to the outside of the fraction.
