Question

Find the slope
(4,-3) and (-5,-3)

Answer 1

I got 0/9 so I'm not sure what that means... is the slope undefined?

Answer 2

No...it is simply 0....undefined slope would be 9/0 ...we cannot divide by 0...so that is undefined

Answer 3

Use the slope formula:
\[\frac { y _2 - y _1 }{ x _2 - x _1}\]

Answer 4

Also remember that would technically be -0/9 right?

-3 + 3 0
------- = ----
-5 - 4 -9

Regardless...0 slope

Answer 5

Ok... (-2,3) and (5,7) is 10/7?

Answer 6

Yeah, the slope is just 0.

Answer 7

I wasn't sure what it meant if the 0 was on top, but I understand it now. Thank you :)

Answer 8

Not quite...

7 - 3 4
------ = --- right?
5 - (-2) 7

Answer 9

I'm getting ahead of myself... thinking I'm all pro and making mistakes now

Answer 10

Just remember that slope formula

\[\large slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]
