Question

[4_01]Which of the following is the slope between the points (0, -10) and (-4, 0)?





-

Answer 1

Remember, the slope formula is \(m = \frac{rise}{run}\) or \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). In this situation:
\(x_1 = 0\)
\(y_1 = -10\)
\(x_2 = -4\)
\(y_2 = 0\)
Can you plug in the values and solve for the slope m?

Answer 2

idk how i forgot

Answer 3

You literally plug in what you have for \(y_2\) into the formula. So, an example would be:
\[m = \frac{0 - (-10)}{x_2 - x_1}\]Here, I plugged in the \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) for you. Try following the same steps to plug in \(x_1\) and \(x_2\).
