1. What is the slope of the line passing through point ( 2, 7) and (- 2, 3)? 2/7 4/3 3/4 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3-7/-2-2 -4/4 -1=answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find slope you use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two points become (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you plug in the ordered pairs and do what i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@insanitycat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( 2, 7) and (- 2, 3) so (3-7)/(-2-2) -4/-4 the slope should be 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you put the right points in? since none of those answers work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait its (-1,3) im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then (2, 7) and (- 1, 3) (3-7)/(-1-2) -4/-3 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you sorry for the misunderstanding!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay
