What's the slope for this line?

hero (hero):

@eflatt13, identify two points on the line before finding the slope. Can you identify two points that are on the line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,0

@Hero

hero (hero):

When identifying points, you should write them in the form (x,y). Each point corresponds to an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, sorry. (0 , 2)

hero (hero):

What is your reasoning behind choosing (0,2) as a point on the line. I see (0,1) as one of the points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! I saw the 0 above the 1 and the line went through the 0..I got confused. :/

hero (hero):

Can you identify another point on the line?

hero (hero):

We need two points before attempting to calculate the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,-2) ? Im confused because I keep seeing (0,2), though

hero (hero):

(2,-2) is another point on the line.

hero (hero):

Now that two points (0,1) and (2,-2) have been identified, the slope formula can be used to find the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's exactly where I was getting confused, thank you. & okay
