Question

Which of the following will give you the incorrect slope? (1 point)

Answer 1

y2-y1 over x2-x1
y2-y1 over x1-x2
y1-y2 over x1-x2
rise over run

Answer 2

The common error is failing to take the points in the same order for x as you do for y.

Answer 3

Wow I didn't get any of that haha can you explain another way?

Answer 4

y2-y1 over x1-x2 is incorrect.

Answer 5

B

Answer 6

Okay so there are 3 options left I was thinking A but Im not sure

Answer 7

B will give you the incorrect slope.

Answer 8

O so the answer is B

Answer 9

yes :)

Answer 10

Yes, B is the correct answer, and the incorrect slope.

You can choose either point to be \((x_1,y_1)\) — the problem is that often people switch the order between the time they do the numerator of the fraction and the denominator.

Answer 11

Haha wow okay sorry I missed that thank you both!!!!!

Answer 12

That will get you a slope that is -1 * the correct slope.
