@iambatman Can you check this when I'm done with it? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check what o_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ik lol, but sure I guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t-h-i-s, you've spelled "this" correctly @CrazyCountryGirl you can give me medal and close post now, k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman Hold On, I'm still solving it. :) I'll post it when I'm done. @joedwar What are you talking about? I haven't posted a question and I don't like spam. -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of this linear function? x y ____________________ −4 −10 −2 −4 1 5 3 11 A. −3 B. 1/3 C. 3 D. 6 M = -4-(-10)/-2-(-2) M = 6/0 M = D @iambatman @Hero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ithinknot

rishavraj (rishavraj):

its not that

hero (hero):

How did you arrive at 6/0 for a slope?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

u have wrongly applied the formulae

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use this equation \[\frac{ y^{1} - y^{2} }{ x^{1} - x^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero I already showed my work I used this formula \[M=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman gave it to me here. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5397c47be4b01c619df2bd0b

hero (hero):

Somehow, I think you meant this: (-4-(-10))/(-2-(-4))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you didn't apply wrong formula, you've just mistaken the x and y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero I guess?

hero (hero):

Re-calculate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's more easily understood visually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR1cpFYCGdU

rishavraj (rishavraj):

name the terms as \[name the terms as x _{1}; x _{2}; y _{1}; y _{2} \in sequence..and then recalculate\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did iambatman give me the right formula?

hero (hero):

Yes. I corrected your setup. How come you have not yet re-calculated M?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm working on it. What is this? (-4-(-10))/(-2-(-4))

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yeah its right formula... u have wrongly plugged the values

rishavraj (rishavraj):

previous one is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/2 = (-4-(-10))/(-2-(-4))

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yeah it is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 can go into 6; 3 times so... C?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

what do u mean...its simple that 6/2 = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, am I right is it C? :)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup
