2. Find the slope of the line by counting the change in y and the change in x. (Remember, slope is rise over run).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it -6/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just double checking your graph...y=run=-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=rise=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you are 100% correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, well yeah i think your right if i'm not doing this wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

¥

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Actually check again, the line is POSITIVE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would this simply into -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 6/2 which simplifies into pos 3?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You have the coordinates of: (-3, 0) and (3, 2) \[\LARGE m=\frac{2-0}{3-(-3)}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\]

OpenStudy (lncognlto):

Yep, that looks correct to me, Luigi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks perfectly correct too me too Luigi.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Aisha, you were thinking of run/rise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay, thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wo everything up top is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Sadly, yes .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Woow, I feel so stupid lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, but how was i wrong tho.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You guys were doing it the opposite way, you did run/rise The units for each were correct, but just in the wrong order.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh, Mb then ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. Thanks luigi!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
