Options are: -3,000 -2,000 2,000 3,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer would be the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the slope formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-y1=m(x-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ y _{1}^2 - y_{2}^2 }{ x_{1}^2 - x_{2}^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you put was the point slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not formula, but more of a form. Anyway, you would pick 2 points on the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now this is where I dont know how which is y and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay ill walk you through. Pick two points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so (0,80,000) and (10,50,000)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So our Y's are 80,000 and 50,000. Notice that there is a y1 and x1 and y2 and x2. These correspond, so you cannot randomly put them in whatever order you want. So we will do this 80,000-50,000. Our corresponding x's are 0 and 10, so they go under, as so. \[\frac{ 80,000 - 50,000 }{ 0- 10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just did it and I got 3.. for 3,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3,000 actually because its goin down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, you have forgotten one thing. when you subtract 0-10, equals NEGATIVE 10. so it is -3000 like you stated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know thats all I have trouble with, finding what formula to use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do more practice problems, it will help a lot. the more often you start using the right ones in the right situations, you will get better at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
