Question

Compare and Contrast. 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
(4, 4) and (2, 6)
Set #2
(2, 4) and (4, 2)

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 1

slope= Mx+b i know this much

Answer 2

I need help?!

Answer 3

Set #1
(4, 4) and (2, 6)
Set #2
(2, 4) and (4, 2)

to find the slopes of lines, you take (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1)
the first line would have a slope of ( ( 6 - 4 ) / ( 4 - 2 ) ) or 2/2 or 1

the second line has a slope of ( ( 2 - 4 ) / ( 4 - 2 ) ) or -2/2 or -1

Both of the lines have the same slope, but one is ascending while the other is descending.

Answer 4

so answer c?

Answer 5

It is answer C, yes. Slope is "m" in Y = mx + b though.

Answer 6

ok thanks @Zilther for your help ;)

Answer 7

X is the independent variable, Y is the dependent variable, B is the y-intercept, and M is the slope.

Answer 8

merci :)

Answer 9

you can change x independently, which is called the independent variable; y is influenced, or dependent on x.
