Question

Help me with this please .

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 --> (1, 5) and (2, 9)
Set # 2 --> (6, 2) and (3, 4

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

First thing you need to do is find the slope of each set.
Use the equation y-y/x-x.
Make sure you subtract the first y from the second y and the first x from the second x.

Set #1
9-5/2-1=4
Set#2
4-2/3-6=-2/3

With a slope of 4 and then a slope of -2/3, the second statement is true.
