find the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (hba):

Slope =y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have already picked 2 points on the line and can you tell me what their coordinates are??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think that is the right answer.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first of all, can you give me the coordinates of the two points on the line???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3,3 1,-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what do you get for the slope???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.....

OpenStudy (hba):

Here (-3,3)=(x1,y1) and (1,-5)=(x2,y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooops.....i made a mistake

OpenStudy (hba):

Well you did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the slope between two points \[(x _{1},y _{1}) and (x _{2},y _{2})\] \[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
