MEDAL!!! ALGEBRA 2 4. What is the slope of the line that passes throughout the given points? (3,2) and (5,12) 5 -5 -1/5 1/5
\[\huge~\rm~\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }=slope\]
2-12 3-5
No
lol yes!
@misty1212 12-2
\[\huge \frac{2-12}{3-5}\] for sure
@pooja195 as long as you keep the order the same, it doesn't matter
-10/2 -5
3-5 is not 2
god does not tell you which one is \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) you get to pick that for yourself
@misty1212 ok i get it.
my answer is -5
thats not right -10/-2=?
3-5=-2 NOT 2
(x1,y1) = (3,2) (x2,y2) = (5,12) ------------------------------------------------------- \[\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\] \[\Large m = \frac{12 - 2}{5-3}\] \[\Large m = \frac{10}{2}\] \[\Large m = 5\] ------------------------------------------------------- \[\Large m = \frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}\] \[\Large m = \frac{2-12}{3-5}\] \[\Large m = \frac{-10}{-2}\] \[\Large m = 5\] ------------------------------------------------------- Either way, you get the same slope.
