Question

The slope of the line containing the points (-5, 3) and (-2, 1) is
-2/3
2/3
-3/2

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
Slope formula: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), where (x2, y2) and (x1, y1) are points on the line

Find the slope using the slope formula.

Answer 2

Recognize the formula?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Think your big enough to handle this :)

Answer 5

You can eliminate B most likely

Answer 6

i figured that much i put it down to A and C

Answer 7

x - x1/x2 - x1 = y - y1 / y2 - y1.

Answer 8

thats where i get confused

Answer 9

Ok so let me plug it in for you

Answer 10

thank you your an angle lol

Answer 11

(-5, 3) and (-2, 1)
\[x- \frac{- 5 }{-2-5 } = y - \frac{ 3 }{ 1-3 }\]

Answer 12

angel?? lol

Answer 13

OK so from there we just simply break it down let me do it for ya :) SO you can get a better understanding

Answer 14

And oops the x and y is suppose to be in the fraction 00.00 at the top ehh as long as you undersand :)

Answer 15

yeah and your an angle is just something ive gotten into the habit of saying

Answer 16

\[\frac{ x-5 }{ -7 } = \frac{ y-3 }{ -2 }\]

Answer 17

I like it lol "angle" :)

Answer 18

Now we cross multiply

Answer 19

-2(x-5)=-7(y-3)

Answer 20

Think you can handle or you still need help :)

Answer 21

hang on

Answer 22

Ok

Answer 23

im still lost lol

Answer 24

\[-2x+10= -7y+21\]

Answer 25

NOW CAN YOU HANDLE IT!>!> lol

Answer 26

oh yeah

Answer 27

u dont have to yell geez

Answer 28

lol

Answer 29

\[-2x-11+7y=0\]

Answer 30

to find the slope, write the equation in slope -intercept form i.e. y = mx+c.

Answer 31

\[7y= 2x+11\]

Answer 32

I think it might be B lol

Answer 33

idk

Answer 34

\[y=\frac{ 2x }{ 7} + \frac{ 11 }{ 7}\]

Answer 35

im saying b

Answer 36

Crap i crapped up :( @amistre64 check my work please?

Answer 37

have funn going thru it hahahaha

Answer 51

lol

Answer 52

I think i did the wrong thing but i was right if the question was stated a different way lol

Answer 53

Question: what are we supposed to do? find the slope of the line pass through (-5,3) and (-2,1)?
