OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the definition of slope? rise over run.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so rise is the change in Y (Y2-Y1) and run is the change in x (x2-x1) so slope is (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) use one data point as (x1,Y1) and the other as (x2,y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-_- could you choose a letter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not a or c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Positive!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

say point 1 is (41, 33) and point 2 is (62,27) Plug these in the formula and see what number you get remember first term is X and second Y i.e. (X,Y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 62-41 }{ 27-33 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
