Question

Medal!!!!!!(:
Compare and Contrast. Below are two sets of points. Find the slopes between the two points and compare them. Choose the statement that is true about the values of the slopes.
Set #1 Set #2
(2, 4) and (1, 1) (4, 1) and (2, 7)

The slope of Set #1 is smaller than the slope of Set #2.
The slope of Set #1 is larger than the slope of Set #2.
The slope of Set #1 is the same as the slope of Set #2.
None of the statements above describe slopes of sets shown.

Answer 1

are you familiar with how to find slope?

Answer 2

x1, y1) and (x2, y2

Answer 3

those are the points the formula for slope is \(\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 4

Oh ok

Answer 5

So what do I do @sleepyjess

Answer 6

substitute in your values

Answer 7

Is my answer choice A?

Answer 8

no what did you get for the slopes?

Answer 9

Nvm I made a mistake. Is it B?:)

Answer 10

can you show me your work to see what you or I am doing wrong?

Answer 11

That's the thing... LOL I dunno what I'm doing!! Im doing it wrong I think.

Answer 12

what are you doing for \(y_2-y_1\)?

Answer 13

The second numbers in the ordered pairs, so for set 1 Y is 4 and 1
