HELP HELP HELP
What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-23, -16) and (13, -16)

Answer 1

m=0

Answer 2

0/36 right...... so zero

Answer 3

yep

Answer 4

- 8/9

0

- 16/5

undefined

here are the answers which one

Answer 5

Have you made up a list of the formulas you're going to need as you study straight lines and their equations? The formula for the slope, relevant to this question, is \[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{x _{2}-x _{1} }\] Please actually calculate the slope for yourself using this formula.

Answer 6

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-12, -15) and (-6, -23)

so its -4/6............. and mathmale i have been calculating my own answers just looking for guidance

Answer 7

Yes. And I'd be glad to give you that guidance, towards finding and checking your own answers, if you'd please share what you've done. You might want to use the following as starting poi\[x _{1}=-23;~y _{1}=-16;~x _{2}=13;~y _{2}=-16\]nts:

Answer 8

Unfortunately, the slope is not -4/6.

Answer 9

-23+15 over -6+12 equals -8/6 reduced to -4/3

Answer 10

not 6 but 3

Answer 11

am i even close

Answer 12

Not close, because there's no 15 in this problem.

Answer 13

\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{x _{2}-x _{1} }\]is the equation you need. Use the data as I have labeled it:\[x _{1}=-23;~y _{1}=-16;~x _{2}=13;~y _{2}=-16\]

Answer 14

scroll up and my first post reads
What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-12, -15) and (-6, -23)

so its -4/6............. and mathmale i have been calculating my own answers just looking for guidance

but i mean -4/3

Answer 15

I'm providing you with guidance as best I know how. Your results unfortunately continue to be incorrect. Notice that the y-component of each of the two given points is the same. What does that tell you?

Answer 16

you are correct on the first question i asked.... i have moved on and am re entering the second question i calculated the first one to be 0/36 i cannot go back the second question i asked is What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-12, -15) and (-6, -23)

Answer 17

Please, in the future, post each question separately.
This new problem uses exactly the same formula and method. this time, please share your work, so that I can give you feedback on how you're doing.
