2-12

pooja195 (pooja195):
No
OpenStudy (misty1212):
lol yes!

\[\huge \frac{2-12}{3-5}\] for sure

@pooja195 as long as you keep the order the same, it doesn't matter
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
-10/2
-5
pooja195 (pooja195):
3-5 is not 2
OpenStudy (misty1212):
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.
OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):
my answer is -5
pooja195 (pooja195):
thats not right
-10/-2=?
pooja195 (pooja195):
3-5=-2 NOT 2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
(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.
