The slope on the right is 8 ... idk how to find the slope of the left ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find another point for f(x). (400, 50) is our first.. We can divide 400 / 50 to find another.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, g(x) has a slope of 8..

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

and f(x) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have (8, 1) Plug these two points into the slope formula: \(m = \dfrac{400-8}{50-1}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

400 - 8 = ? 50 - 1 = ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

392 / 49 = 8

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so they have the same slope
