Question

what is the slope of the line through the given point (-3,1) and (5,4)

Answer 1

Question? How did you come up with that? I thought the (-3,1) would be in the II quadrant and the (5,4) in the i quadrant. Wouldn't the IV quadrant be a (-1,-3)?

Answer 2

put it like this X-axis = -3 and 5 and Y-axis = 1 and 4 after you plot those points you line them up

Answer 3

Oh,wait.. is that the m=y2-y1 thing?

Answer 4

yes sir

Answer 5

Mame..lol.. Im so excited, I put two and two together.. thank you!

Answer 6

your welcome........mame :)

Answer 7

So is the slope of the line 3/2?

Answer 8

wait what? no that's it cause your question says that you only the slope unless there's more you didn't say?

Answer 9

The question is: Find the slope of the line through the given points (-3,1) and (5,4)

Answer 10

yeah what i did is the answer that's all you need to get it right :)

Answer 11

slope m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 12

Ok, Mark so what I think your saying is that it is: M=4-1 / 5-3 ~ M=3/2

Answer 13

almost there
(4-1)/(5-(-3))+....?

Answer 14

My logic says it has to equal 8, but I have no idea how to get it to equal 8

Answer 15

or m=(1-4)/(-3-5)=....?

Answer 16

m=(1-4)/(-3-5)=.3/8...? or
=(4-1)/(5-(-3))=+3/8....? yes or no?

Answer 17

AHHHHHHH... I GOT IT !!!!! WHOOT WHOOT

Answer 18

yeheeeyyyyyyyy .... :D

good luck now have fun :D

Answer 19

The night is still young and I have 4 'sections' to get through.. lol

Answer 21

BWEEZY5 ROCKS and SO DO YOU!!! How do I give medals???

Answer 22

wait VAT!!! lol i didn't understand anything guys were doin O.o

Answer 23

formula for slope
\[slope m=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x } = \frac{ y _{2}- y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 24

I have another slope and Y intercept question. Do I close out here and post a new question?

Answer 25

jesus is that all it says???

Answer 26

yes mame close this one and say the next question

Answer 27

use the formula at.
given point (-3,1)=(x1,y1) and (5,4)=(x2,y2)

Answer 28

no wait lol you for got to close it

Answer 29

@ ChristaB to give medal just push the buytton there at the further right..lol :D
