Question

What is the slope of the line passing through points A and B? Point A is plotted at (2) and point B is plotted at (3,3). Please explain on how i would do this!

A. -3

B. -1/5

C. 1/4

D. 1/3

Answer 1

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 2

Points A: (x1,y1)
Points B: (x2,y2)

Answer 3

I dont understand?

Answer 4

Ok, you know coordinates have (x,y) right?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Ok, the slope is trying to find the rise/run

Answer 7

ummmmmm okay...

Answer 8

So you take your y-coordinate from B - the y-coordinate from A

Answer 9

over the x-coordinate from B - the x-coordinate from A

Answer 10

Im still not getting this

Answer 11

i got 1 for each of them

Answer 12

SInce the A coordinates are (2,0) and the B is (3,3)

3-0/3-2 = 3/1 = 3

Answer 13

Mhmm, did you forget a coordinate in your question?

Answer 14

for Point A

Answer 15

wait so its -3?

Answer 16

Well your coordinates for point A is (2). Makes no sense.

Answer 17

Unless you mean (2,0) which is what I assumed.

Answer 18

ya becasue you know where the zeros at in a graph well you go up 2 and thats it

Answer 19

thats why i just puit 2

Answer 20

Oh! Then it's (0,2). Never leave it alone when they're coordinates.

Answer 21

Then it's 3-2/ 3-0 = 1/3

Answer 22

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Answer 23

I get it!!!
