Answer 2

slope, m=dy/dx, the change in the dependent variable over the change in the independent variable. so m = y2-y1/x2-x1 = (-4-1)/3--7=-5/10
=-1/2

Answer 3

slope formula is \[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]Just fill in the y's from both coordinates, and the x's from both coordinates and subtract them. If you are struggling with it, please ask!

Answer 4

its b?

Answer 5

Answer 6

do the formula

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 1-(-4) }{-7-3}\]

Answer 8

this would be B
