Hello again!

Answer 2

Hiya! :) I just want this explained. NO ANSWER! :)
What is the slope of the line that passes through points A and B ?
A. 5/2
B. 2/5
C. -2/5
D. -5/2

Answer 3

Is this a positive or negative slope? Let's start with that question.

Answer 4

\[ m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Where m is your slope, take points of A and B.

Answer 5

@xGuardians Positive

Answer 6

Okay Great @CrazyCountryGirl , now that eliminates which two options?

Answer 7

C and D? @xGuardians

Answer 8

Answer 9

@CrazyCountryGirl Goodjob, that right, now to decipher from the final two, let me ask you this.
What is slope?
x over y OR y over x?

Answer 10

Rise over run. so.... x over y?

Answer 11

nope, rise is the y, and run is the x! But nice try, it is rise over run, you just got the second part wrong. Now use your fingers and look at the graph, count how many to the right (x) and how many up (y)
then put it in

y
_
x

Answer 12

Oh. :) @xGuardians How do I get that?

Answer 13

Count from the bottom point, to the top point. Count to the right how many dots, then up how many dots :) @CrazyCountryGirl

Answer 14

Start at A -> Count to the right until your under b, then count up to b. tell me what you get :)

Answer 15

Two to the right
Five up
So... would that be 2/5?

Answer 16

@xGuardians

Answer 17

Remember its rise over run. and you got 5 up and 2 right. so what would it actually be?

5/2 :) @CrazyCountryGirl

Answer 18

Answer 19
