Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 4) and (-5, -6).

-2/7

(10/3) correct?

-2/3

Answer 1

y goes down by 10 for every 3 steps of x going down, so yes, 10/3 makes sense.

Answer 2

Thanks

Answer 3

slope = (y2 - y10 / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-6-4) / (-5 - (-2)
slope = -`10/(-5 + 2)
slope = -10/-3
slope = 10/3
you are correct

Answer 4

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -1) and (0, 3).

3/4

0

(4/3) correct?

Answer 5

Use the same logic as kellie showed you in the post above and you should be able to tell yourself i guess

Answer 6

slope = (3 - (-1) / (0 - (-3)
slope = (3 + 1) / (0 + 3)
slope = 4/3
correct

Answer 7

thanks. I really need help on this equation.
Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 1) and (3, 4). I know I'm wrong but my answer is y3-x2=1
