Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7)?
a) 1/2
b)1
c)2

Answer 1

\[\huge~\rm~\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

Answer 2

We need to find the slope first :)
(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

Answer 3

ok @pooja195

Answer 4

\[\huge~\rm~\frac{ 7-5 }{ 1+3}=slope \]

Answer 5

thanks its 1/2 @pooja195

Answer 6

no its not.

Answer 7

its not??

Answer 8

look at what i did above

Answer 9

\[\huge~\rm~\frac{ 7-5 }{ 1+3}=slope \]

Answer 10

^^^^^^^^^

Answer 11

I did do that but I got 2/4 and I simplified

Answer 12

oh right oops sorry!

Answer 13

its alright @pooja195

Answer 14

\[\huge~\rm~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
ok now we have our slope
m=slope so 1/2
we can pick and point
(1,7) will be easier

Answer 15

(x1,y1)
