4/5
−5/4
5/4
options

Answer 2

Its one of the top two answers. I think It is A but I am not positive. double check it.

Answer 3

the slope formula is\[\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{x_2-x_1 }\]

Answer 4

confused because do i make R=x and S=y?

Answer 5

They're both points. R has an x and a y. S has an x and a y.

so the y of r minus the y of s etc.

Answer 6

Think of R as R(x1, y1) and S as S(x2, y2). Then put the values in the above formula

Answer 7

so is it 5/4?
