I'll give a Medal for the Correct Answer! What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points? (-5/3 - 1) & (-2, 9/2)
WAit, what is the first coord?
Are you there?
coord?
they meant coordinate
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (9/2 +1)/ (-2+5) = (11/2) / (3) = 11/6
wait i messed up
(11/2) / ( -2 + (5/3) ) = (11/2) / ( -1/3) = ( -33/2)
how did you get the 11/2?
Here's what you do: 9/2--1 over -2--5 This is 11/2 over 3... so dived 11/2 by 3.. It equals 11/6, that's your slope
You there? any questions?
ohh ok yea that makes sense. But my slope can't be 11/6 because its not an option on the question.
what are the options?
2/33 -2/33 -33/2 33/2
one moment
oh i think I read it wrong before... lemme see what I get now.. sorry for the wait
it alright
I got -11/6..... maybe the answers are messed up? I don't know....
Sorry... I know I did the slope formula right.... I don't know why it's not an option
its alright, I appreciate for the effort though!
