Give me the answers to your question. But Ok so lets start what is the difference between the ends of the lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So like this

OpenStudy (staceyg):

I put the options above. They are 1/3, -1/3, 3, -3

OpenStudy (staceyg):

You go to connections?

OpenStudy (staceyg):

@BraydonG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@staceyg Yes I do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it might be 3 or -1/3.

OpenStudy (staceyg):

Do you know how to do these problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A little. Not to much.

OpenStudy (staceyg):

alright thanks anyway for trying :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope is always \[\frac{ rise }{ run }\] So the line crosses on the points (0,-2) and (6,0) What you do is count 2 points above (0,-2) and then 6 points over. That means the slope is \[\frac{ 2 }{ 6 }\] or simplified as \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Thanks so much for explaining!
