Question

>> WILL FAN AND GIVE MEDAL <<
The graph of one particular link includes the two points (5,8) and (10,6). Find the slope of the line.
A. 2/5
B. -2/5
C. 5/2
D.-5/2

Answer 1

@MathsPro @amistre64

Answer 2

what is the formula for slope?

Answer 3

@FibonacciChick666



Label the points as x1 = 1, y1 = - 4, x2 = -4, and y2 = 2.
To find the slope m of the line segment joining the points, use the slope formula :

Answer 4

what is the slope formula is my question

Answer 5

@FibonacciChick666 Look it up.

Answer 6

no. I am asking you because YOU need to know it. I already do.

Answer 7

and please stop tagging me each time, it's not necessary

Answer 8

@FibonacciChick666 I already know it, I want help, not an attitude.

Answer 9

then tell me it. like I asked

Answer 10

I already know HOW to do it. I just got the WRONG ANSWER. I got, -3/4

Answer 11

then tell me how you did it, so I can find where you went wrong

Answer 12

Okay, so first I did.

x1, y1
x1, y1

Then I plugged in the numbers.

m= 5-8= -3
10-6= 4

-3/4

Answer 13

ok, so first question, can you tell me what you used for x1, y1,x2,y2?

Answer 14

It didn't copy

Answer 15

I used: (5,8), (10,6)

Answer 16

can you type it like so:
x1=___
y1=____
x2=____
y2=____

Answer 17

x1= 5
y1= 8
x2= 10
y2= 6

Answer 18

k so now, you did not apply the formula correctly, so that is why I am going to ask for the slope formula again

Answer 20

So, \[m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\] so can you input your values directly into this^^ and tell me that?/

Answer 21

just right click copy and paste the latex commands

Answer 22

I don't know how.

Answer 23

@FibonacciChick666

Answer 24

you don't know how to do the plug and chug or you don't know how to type it all pretty like here?

Answer 25

because if it's just the typing, you can draw it out too

Answer 26

ah, that is the problem, look at what you put in, You did \[m=\frac{x_1-y_1}{x_2-y_2}\] but you want \[m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\]
