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

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

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

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

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

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

Do you understand rise/run?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, x rise, y run

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)

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