Question

HELP WILL FAN AND MEDAL!~
1. What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (-2, -1) and (8, -3)

2. What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (1,3) and (1,-5)

Answer 1

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

I'm horrible at math. Don't even know what that means

Answer 3

it's a formula for finding the slope
plug in the points where say \((-2,-1)=(x_1,y_1)\)

Answer 4

(-1,-3) (-2,8)

Answer 5

for example find the slope between (1,3) and (4,9)

Answer 6

so (-3,-1) (8,-2)

Answer 7

just plug the numbers in
there's a formula

Answer 8

i got (-2,10)

Answer 9

m=-1/5?

Answer 10

pick numbers and stick to them. what 2 points are we using? (1,3) and (1,-5)?
