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

you can calculate slope by y2-y1/x2-x1. The slope of both the sets will be -1. So the slope of Set#1 is the same as slope of set #2
