whats the slope of a line that passes through (-3,4) and (-2,5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change in y over change in x |dw:1391214692579:dw|

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the slpe \(m\) of a line that passes though points \((x_0,y_0)\) and \((x_1,y_1)\) is given by\[m={y_1-y_0\over x_1-x_0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand

OpenStudy (turingtest):

fill in the blanks; you have two points subtract the y-coordinates and x-coordinates, then find their ratio. That is the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 1?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

let\[(-3,4)=(x_0,y_0)\]and\[(-2,5)=(x_1,y_1)\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! great job @ryan12345 :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i got stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

everyone does get stuck at some point in their mathematical journey through life :P lol that sounded really cheezy XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):
