Hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need some help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok what grade?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so do you know how to do slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really

OpenStudy (perl):

$$ \Large slope~m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its D :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line. Slope is often denoted by the letter m. The direction of a line is either increasing, decreasing, horizontal or vertical. A line is increasing if it goes up from left to right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope (m) = 3 θ = 251.56505117708° distance (d) = 15.811388300842 ΔX = -5 ΔY = -15

Your answer is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NP :)

OpenStudy (perl):

@PIELORDHUNTER14 how did you get that angle?

OpenStudy (perl):

Slope (m) = 3 `θ = 251.56505117708°` distance (d) = 15.811388300842 ΔX = -5 ΔY = -15

OpenStudy (perl):

i agree with the distance, but not with the angle
