at is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 4) and (−8, −1)? i think the answer is -3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

(I wasn't yelling it's a confused cry xDD) Mya... I don't have time to help you...

OpenStudy (arabpride):

DO you know the equation to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x1, y1) (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was just checking if i'm right :)

OpenStudy (arabpride):

right~ okay can you open this calculator: http://media.education2020.com/contentengine/tools//Calculators/graphing-calculator.html <-- and just to CHECK ~.^ if you're right~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw my name is Alexis not Mya :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Alright - give me a sec~ :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

OpenStudy (arabpride):

so you're saying that you're slope would equal y = -3/8x ? :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats wat i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i rite?

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Well using the calculator this is what your points look like [pink] and what the slope that you think is correct [green] looks like:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i'm right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you arab i will tell you if its right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its wrong :((

OpenStudy (arabpride):

That's what i was showing you.... the points did not line up with the points...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.- oh

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Sorry >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, think about it as rise/run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks like m/slope= +1 ?
