Question

(someone please help me D: I'll give a medal and I will fan you )
3. What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points?
(1, 7), (10, 1)

Answer 1

\[a. \frac{ 2 }{ 3} \]

b. \[\frac{ -2 }{ 3}\]

c. \[\frac{ -3 }{ 2 }\]

d. \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3}\]

Answer 2

let (x,y) and (x',y') be two points and it is joined by a line than the slope to the line is given by the formula

slope= (y'-y)/(x'-x)

Once you get this. You will be able to do it smoothly.. Hope it helps. :)

Answer 5

slope is the rate of change
change in y / corresponding change in x
for 2 given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
slope = y2 -y1 /x2 - x1

for this problem (1, 7), (10, 1) make the substitution and solve

Answer 6

(1-7 )/ (10-1) = -6/9 reduce to lowest term so divide by 3/3
to get -2/3

Answer 7

*writes it all down*

Answer 8

thank you :)

Answer 9

b

Answer 10

*writes it all down* what does this mean?

Answer 11

it means that I wrote all what you said so I can remember. :)

Answer 12

OK slope is the relationship of how the dependent variable changes with the corresponding change in the independent variable. This is written as a ratio of integers.

Answer 13

oooo oki thanks :)
