More Slope:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

State whether the slope of a line passing through (2, -3) and (1, 8) is positive, negative, zero or undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u there cuz i can help

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

|dw:1387674359143:dw| negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u do is y2 -y1 / x2 - x1 so 8- (-3) / 1 - 2 you get 11/ -1 that is your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the slope of a line that has an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 6.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

@Ajahbaby10 thats not whats its asking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then whtz its asking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i found the slope and it was negative what else is there

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

when you want to find an intercept multiply by 0 to get your intercept. -2x +6y -2(0) + 6y 6 is the y -2x +6(0) x = -2

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

do you have options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sadly, I have to type in my response

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

k sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so , like no graphing to check?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe that the_fe.... is right you should submit that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it -11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, the next one is attached

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its b cause it increses by 2 rise 1 run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, heres the next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@00snake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u study at all or am i taking this for you this time i will walk u thru it ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did(;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine what ever its 1/2 cuz it rise 1 and runs 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really, how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand rise/run?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, x rise, y run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determine if the lines that pass through the given points are parallel, perpendicular or neither. Line A: (-3, 5) and (0, 7) Line B: (6, 2) and (9, 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that you in your picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first step would be to calculate the slope of both Line A and Line B. Since you already know how to do this, I can just give you the slopes. Line A = 2/3 Line B = 2/3 Given the slopes of these two points what do you think the lines would be? Parallel, or Perpendicular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. And do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Becuase they equal eachother?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rewrite the equation of a line in point-slope form to slope intercept form: y-2=2/3(6x+9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should probably create a new question. This one is getting a bit long and crowded.
