Question

(can someone please help me ?)
Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3, -5).

-1

1

0

one half

Answer 1

slope = difference in y-coordinates / difference in x-coordinates

Answer 2

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ 1}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -3}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -5}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 3

so -1 ?
