Question

The slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 5) and (3, 5) is

no slope
0
5/4

Answer 1

I chose No Slope

Answer 2

use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

ok one sec

Answer 4

In this case, (x1, y1) = (-1, 5), which means x1=-1 and y1= 5

and (x2, y2) = (3, 5), which means x2=3 and y2= 5

-------------------------------------------------------

So

x1=-1
y1= 5
x2=3
y2= 5

Answer 5

I got m=0/4...

Answer 6

reduce that to get ???

Answer 7

4 is the slope?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

0/4 is the slope

but you have to reduce

Answer 10

...

Answer 11

0/4 doesn't = 4?

Answer 12

Oh wait 4/0 would = 4 right?

Answer 13

so it has a slope of 0

Answer 14

4/0 is undefined since you CANNOT divide by zero

Answer 15

0/4 is 0 since 0 divided by any number (but 0) is 0

in other words

0/x = 0 where x is not 0

Answer 16

ok so the slope is 0

Answer 17

correct

Answer 18

ok thank you for explaining too

Answer 19

yw

Answer 20

oh could you just tell me if i have the right answer for this one question real quick?

The slope of the line whose equation is 3y = 2x - 3 is

2
2/3
3/2

My answer was 2, am i right?

Answer 21

that's incorrect unfortunately

Answer 22

you have to get the equation into y = mx+b form

m will be the slope

Answer 23

huh that might explain why i got a 67 on this quiz lol

Answer 24

that's ok, you can improve and learn from your mistakes

Answer 25

yeah its a good thing that i have OS because my home school is not very good at teaching

Answer 26

so y=3/2 x-3

Answer 27

not quite

Answer 28

you have to divide both sides by 3

Answer 29

oh so y= 2/3x-1

Answer 30

yes, so the slope is _______

Answer 31

2/3 lol

Answer 32

correct

Answer 33

thank you!

Answer 34

you're welcome
