Question

2/7
3/4
4/3
1/3

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP

Answer 2

Well, we do have the slope formula.. this will probably do the trick :)

Answer 3

I am not sure how to do it I completely forgot :\

Answer 4

that's okay, i'll refresh your memory..
When we have two sets of co-ordinates, like they gave us, we can use the formula:\[\LARGE m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

Answer 5

For example:
From the points given,

(2, 7) and (–1, 3)
(x1,y1) and (x2, y2)

Answer 6

Do ya get it?

Answer 7

then what do you do next?

Answer 8

I kinda get it but not much :\

Answer 9

\[\LARGE m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 } = \frac{ 3-7 }{ -1-2 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]
Simply sub in the points given and do the math :)
