A. Both calculated the slope as 3.
B. Both calculated the slope as 1/3 .
C. Alec calculated the slope as 1/3 and Avis calculated it as 3.

Answer 4

alright so write point A and B in order pair
A(? ,? ) point B( ? , ?) on the graph :-)

Answer 5

for example point A ( 0 ,0)
so point B (? ,? ) ?

Answer 6

1,2

Answer 7

i mean (6,2)

Answer 8

yes right now use slope formula \[\huge\rm \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]
plug in x and y values
