Question

Help asap please please please!

Which two pairs of coordinates represent a line with a negative slope? (Points : 2)
(1, 2) and (2,0)
(2, 3) and (4, 10)
(5, 9) and (5, 8)

Answer 1

so if you want to find the slope using two coordinate points, you can use the slope formula.

\[\frac{ y _{2}-y_{1}}{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

Answer 2

I know which formula just not how to set it up... if you set it up i can solve :)

Answer 3

well, we can start on the first pair of coordinate points: (1,2) (2,0)
if we call the first pair (1,2) your x1 and y1, then we must call the second pair x2 and y2

Answer 4

so all that's left to do after that is to plug each respective y and x into the formula and see if you get a negative number

Answer 5

Makes sense?

Answer 6

hi faceless.. :-:

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

hi
