Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 1) and (–1, –5)?

Answer 1

Do you know the formula for finding slope?

Answer 2

NOOOOO

Answer 3

(X1 X2) Y1,Y2

Answer 4

Well the formula is this: \[\frac{ y^2-y^1 }{ x^2-x^1 }\]
Can you fill in the variables youself??

Answer 5

*yourself
Note: If not then i can help you

Answer 6

1,-1/1,-5

Answer 7

No you have to have the x variables on the bottom and the y on the top like this. \[\frac{ 1-(-5) }{ 1-(-1) }\]
But do you notice you have to subtract a negative?

Answer 8

YEAA

Answer 9

6,2

Answer 10

Well when that happens that means that you basically should just add the two. So yes its going to be \[\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }=3\] So your slope is 3 ^_^
