Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points for (-5/3, -1), (-2, 9/2) please

Answer 1

\[Slope = \frac{ (y _{2}-y _{1}) }{(x _{2}-x _{1}) }\]

y2= 9/2
y1= -1

x2= -2
x1= -5/3

Substitute the values and simplify. Watch your signs.

Answer 2

Hello Ryan, Thank you. I think that is my problem the signs keep getting me mixed up

Answer 3

Yeah, it's easy to keep mixed up with signs when finding the slope. Did you get the answer?

Answer 4

I am trying to work it out now.

Answer 5

y= 5.5 I think

Answer 6

x= -1/3

Answer 7

Am I even close to the answer

Answer 8

Yes, thats correct! \[\frac{ 5.5 }{ -1/3 }\]

Good job
