Question

Which of the following is the slope between the points (-2,4) and (2,-2)?

Answer 1

Use this equation \[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
where y2=-2, y1=4, x2=2 and x1=-2
What did you get?

Answer 2

This equation you always use to find the slope of a line given 2 points

Answer 3

-2/3?

Answer 4

or 2/3?

Answer 5

Nope it is -3/2
(-2-4) = -6
2-(-2) = 2+2 = 4
-6/4 simplified is -3/2

Answer 6

what about (0,-7) and (4,12)

Answer 7

y2=12, y1=-7, x2=4,x1=0

y2-y1 = (12-(-7)) = 12+7 = 19
x2-x1=4-0 = 4
m = 19/4

Answer 8

Do u have any other questions?

Answer 9

Identify the correct x intercept and the y intercept of the equation x+7y=-21

Answer 10

To find the y-intercept let x=0 and solve for y
To find the x-intercept let y=0 and solve for x
What did you get when u applied the principle above?

Answer 11

I am like so confused haha im terrible at math

Answer 12

This is what I meant:
So you have x+7y=-21
Find y-intercept by letting x=0: 0+7y=-21, then solve for y

Find x-intercept by letting y=0: x+7(0)=-21, then solve for x

Answer 13

so x intercept would be (21,0) and y would be (0,3)

Answer 14

You forgot your negative signs:

x-intercept: (-21,0)
y-intercept: (0,-3)
