Question

find the slope of line E

A. - 1/2
B. 1/2
C. -2
D. 2

Answer 1

Do you know how to find the slope of a line using two points?

Answer 2

yes, there is a rise of 2 and a run of 4 but im not shure if its 2, or -2

Answer 3

Okay just use these point =)
(2,4) (6,2)

Answer 4

and then what do i do?

Answer 5

Well to find the slope from two given points, you use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 6

I found the slope to be 1/2

Answer 7

how did you do it?

Answer 8

basically what you do is this:
\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\] Substitute both of the x values and y values for the y's and x's so it'll look like this \[\frac{ 4-2 }{ 6-2 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 4 } = 1/2\]

Answer 9

ok, thanks!!! : )

Answer 10

it doesn't matter what values you name y1, y2, x1, or x2 =) just as long as you only use the x values on the x axis for the x's and the y values from the y axis for the y'a your good to go =)

Answer 11

no prob! =)

Answer 12

it was A.= -1/2

Answer 13

That was the right answer?
