Find the slope..

OpenStudy (haileyd):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Slope = \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\] Plug in your x and y's and solve.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

um, you got your formula wrong its y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either way works as long as you plug in your variables consistently.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example, (2, 1) and (-3, 5) \[\frac{2-(-3)}{1-5} = \frac{-3-2}{5-1}\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

no. lets say -2 - 3 / -1 - 5 = -5 / -6 = 5/6 -3 - 2 / -5-(-1) = -5/-4 = 5/4 its not the same -_-

OpenStudy (haileyd):

so the answer would be 5?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

12-(-13) / 3 - (-2 ) = 25/5 = 5 /1 yes hailey.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're adding some non-existent negatives into your example...

OpenStudy (haileyd):

What do you mean?

Sorry, that was directed to @shamil98, not you.
