@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

can you find the change in y ? and the change in x ? then divide to find change in y divided by change in x

OpenStudy (phi):

you start by look at the line. when x= -1 what is the y value of the line ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk helpp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what about 4

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, the line goes through (-1,5) when x=4, what is y ?

OpenStudy (phi):

put your finger on x=4 on the x-axis. follow the graph line down till you reach the line. then go left until you reach the y-axis. what number is y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how do i do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh -5

OpenStudy (phi):

so (4,-5) is on the line you have (-1,5) and (4,-5) now do change in y divided by change in x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide each one?

OpenStudy (phi):

pick one of the points as the start point (-1, 5) and the other as the end point (4,-5) to find change in y, pick the y value from the end point: -5 subtract from it the y value of the start point: 5 do -5 - 5 what do you get ?

OpenStudy (phi):

can you do -5 - 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10 yea thats easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi dont do step by step just write it all out ok i dont have a lot of time

OpenStudy (phi):

then go faster. what is the change is x ? then do -10/ change in x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its -10 divided by -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??.. the answer choices all have the number 1 and 2 in them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh what did i do wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi plz stop leaving just stay here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@E.ali can u plz help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not tell me what to do but write everything out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK I GOT IT, ALL U DO IS SLOPE. @phi made it too confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -10/ 5 = -2.

OpenStudy (phi):

4 - -1 is not -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i got confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just did slope, i understand that way better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find y s in the point have .

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, it is slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cupcake111:??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did it already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK ! What did u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- 2 Is what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the rate of change..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aka slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of the two points: (-1,5) and (4,-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK ! The X s changes = 3and y s change = 0 OK ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? i already did the question, y are u still here? the answer is -2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No ! the -2 isnt answer !
