nnesha · Answer

do you know the slope formula to find slope ??

anonymous · Answer

Yeah but I forgot it because I haven't done this in a while..

nnesha · Answer

$$\huge\rm m = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }$$
formula to find slope use order pair where $$\large\rm (x_1 , y_1 )(x_2 , y_2)$$

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused :/

nnesha · Answer

confused about what ??

anonymous · Answer

Like the formula... I don't know how I would solve the problem with it. Sorry my mind is blank right now lol..

nnesha · Answer

first number in order pair is x and 2nd one is y

anonymous · Answer

So you subtract the y's and the x's then divide? @Nnesha

nnesha · Answer

yes y's should be at the top (numerator )

anonymous · Answer

Okay does that mean it would be a fraction?

nnesha · Answer

yes right like in formula y_2 - y_1 
 divide by x_2 - x_1

anonymous · Answer
