Compare and Contrast. Below are two sets of points. Find the slopes between the two points and compare them. Choose the statement that is true about the values of the slopes.
Set #1 Set #2
(0, 4) and (-2, 8) (3, 7) and (-1, -5)

The slope of Set #1 is smaller than the slope of Set #2.

The slope of Set #1 is larger than the slope of Set #2.

The slope of Set #1 is the same as the slope of Set #2.

None of the statements above describes slopes of sets shown.

Maybe you could evaluate the slopes of both sets?

Remember... Change in y over change in x.

Would it be A?

terenzreignz · Answer

I don't know, I was rather hoping you'd get the slopes of set 1 and 2...or you've already worked them out? :>

terenzreignz · Answer

I'm really not sure here,@Soumyadeep in getting which slope is "bigger" or "smaller" do we only consider absolute values of the slopes?

stamp · Answer

see attachment for solution

anonymous · Answer

Yes, we r considering the values

anonymous · Answer

and then on the basis of that, we arrive at the conclusion

stamp · Answer

@terenzreignz absolute value or not, the answer is the same

terenzreignz · Answer

@stamp 
that's... true, I guess :D

Then dmezz was right
