plz help i will give medal to the best answer and i will become ur fan if u have the best answer

OpenStudy (madhatter):

Find the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (madhatter):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation to find slope is m=y2-y1/x2-x1, so for this you would plug in 3-2/5-(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about the second best ?

OpenStudy (madhatter):

kk lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you just simplify that and you get your answer :)

OpenStudy (madhatter):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (madhatter):

@Hope_nicole i cant figure out the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ok but i cant figuer it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (madhatter):

it dosnt make sence it is just not going in to my brain and comeing out idk

OpenStudy (madhatter):

@Hope_nicole any help....???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you take the two points that it gave you..

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make one point 1 and one point 2

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then just subtract. y2(meaning the y coordinate of point 2) -y1(y coordinate of the first point)

OpenStudy (madhatter):

u lost me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how.

OpenStudy (madhatter):

the thing with y1 and y 2 makes no sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. in a pair of coordinates you have(x,y) right

OpenStudy (madhatter):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so when you are using two different sets of (x,y) and (x,y) you just say one is set 1 and one is set 2. (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (madhatter):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make better sense now?

OpenStudy (madhatter):

yepperz thanks

OpenStudy (madhatter):

so i get y1 and y1??

OpenStudy (madhatter):

??????????????????????????????????

OpenStudy (madhatter):

@Hope_nicole

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get x1, y1 and x2, y2.

OpenStudy (madhatter):

kk
