Medal and fan:) Slope and stuff XD
what is the slope of the line shown in this graph? -2 -1 1 2
Hi! All you do is plug your answers into the slope formula: \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1}\] Here are your points: 0,3 and 1,1 Do you know which numbers are X's and which are Y's? :)
umm. isnt the one on the right x?
The numbers to the left of the comma are X's. The numbers to the right of the comma are Y's. Therefore, your X's are: 0, 1 Your Y's are: 3, 1. Does this make sense so far? :)
yep
Okay! Now, Here are your X's: 0, 1. 0 is going to be your X1, simply because it is in the first order pair. 1 is your X2. The same goes for the Y's: 3 is your Y1 because it is in the first ordered pair. 1 is your Y2.
ok
\[\frac{ 1-3 }{ 1-0 } = \frac{ -3 }{ 1}\]
I see this isn't an answer choice tho. :( gimmie one second
k
how about doing rise over run?
OMG! No wonder it's not an answer, 1-3 is -2. XDDD I'm sorry!!! Yes, -2/1 is the same as -2. There's your slope!
thank you:)
No problem! Sorry for my terrible subtraction XD
its ok lol
6 out of 6 :) @mkbwashere thanks so much
No problem!! :)
