WAit, what is the first coord?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Are you there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
coord?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they meant coordinate
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (9/2 +1)/ (-2+5) = (11/2) / (3) = 11/6

wait i messed up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(11/2) / ( -2 + (5/3) ) = (11/2) / ( -1/3) = ( -33/2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get the 11/2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
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.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what are the options?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/33
-2/33
-33/2
33/2

it alright
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got -11/6..... maybe the answers are messed up? I don't know....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry... I know I did the slope formula right.... I don't know why it's not an option
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its alright, I appreciate for the effort though!
