Question

The slope of the line containing the points (-5, 3) and (-2, 1) is

-2/3
2/3
-3/2



The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3/8 is

-8/3
3/8
8/3



A square has symmetry with respect to a line containing a median of the square.
True
False

Answer 1

i already found my answer for the true and false question

Answer 2

Okay, let's work on 1.

Answer 3

slope = y1 - y2 over x1 - x2

Answer 4

so:\[\frac{ 1 - 3 }{ -2 + 5 }\]

Answer 5

Do you know what to do next?

Answer 6

it's -2/3 right?

Answer 7

Yeah.

Answer 8

thank you so what's the second equation

Answer 9

Ask it as a new question, I do 1 at a time. :)

Answer 10

how do you solve equation 2?

Answer 11

Graph a line with a slope of 3/8 and then graph a line perpendicular to it.

Answer 12

rise over run

Answer 13

so the answer for this would be 3/8?

Answer 14

No. It'd be -3/8

Answer 15

rise/run

Answer 16

but -3/8 isn't one of the options?

Answer 17

what's the answer for equation 2?

Answer 18

I'm sorry, I confused you. I meant -8/3

Answer 19

thank you
