what did you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
undefined
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
calculate slope between (10, 93) and (4, 39)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
tell me what you get

I got 0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
nope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
undefined?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Hint: whenever the x coordinates are the same, you have a vertical line
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yeah

vertical lines have undefined slopes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(5-2) and (5, -5) =3?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
show me your work on that one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2--5=3
or is it 0?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that part is true

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but you didn't finish up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5-5=0
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that means the slope is what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
slope is change in ____ over change in _____

-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but then the answer must be undefined
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
why
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because if -2--5=3, and 0-3=0, it can not be defined
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you mean 5-5 = 0 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, yes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
slope is change in y over change in x
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
slope = rise/run = 3/0 = undefined
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(-2,-21) and (4,27)=1/8?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
last one and no

-8?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1/8?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you're guessing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m=(-2, -21) (4, 27) -2-4 and 27-21=8

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (27-(-21))/(4-(-2))
m = (27+21)/(4+2)
m = 48/6
m = 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I was confusing myself at first
