OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u explain step by step ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

connections?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find slope what is the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont u subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which goes out to -0.33333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hope_nicole

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it would be -1/3

Find the distance between the points (-1, 3) and (5, 0). (Hint: Remember to simplify the square root if you can. For example: sqrt 28 = 2 sqrt 7.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how bout that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do it the same way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh! distance im so sorry! thats a different formula. use \[d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my first answer was wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 - 2^2 + -4 - 2 ^2? for my first problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did u get when u solved it ?
